I like my nose when I'm not smiling but when I smile my nostrils look much larger. I notice when some people smile their nostrils do not change while others, like mine, nostrils widen when they smile. What is happening anatomically for this to occur? And can it be addressed non-surgically for example with Botox or is this something that can only be addressed surgically with an alarplasty?
