Procedure for Nose That Widens with Smile?

User Avatar

When I smile, my nose ''spreads'' across my face. Is there a procedure to stop me from getting this with a rhinoplasty? Will alar base procedure stop this? Also, I read about doctors being able to ''thin the skin'' on rhinoplasty patients with thick skin how is this performed, and is this the same as nasal smas? Thank you.
