Can I get Botox to reduce width of nose at base/nostrils? (photo)

Thanks for your question. Botox may potentially help in reducing how much the nostrils come up to the sides of the face when smiling, as that is done by a muscle. Unfortunately, Botox does not reduce the width of the nasal base nor does it reduce the size of the nostrils.

Thank you for your question and photograph. Botox will not materially impact your nasal width or flaring.

Botox may help with reducing how much the nostrils flare out on the sides when smiling. I would start with trying Botox in several areas to reduce the nasal flaring that you dislike. More of a trial and error situation. If this does not succeed, you should contact a trusted doctor to see what else could work for you. Best of wishes, Dr Samuel K Gooldy

Hi there! Botox is not the treatment you'd get to reduce your nose at base or nostrils. Please consult with a board certified medical professional for your treatments.

First, you are beautiful and have a fantastic smile!
I agree with trying Botox in several areas to reduce the nasal flaring that you dislike (possibly a small amount in different areas till you get the correct desired response). I feel that you have a bit of upper teeth show with your complete smile so I would place several units at the base of your columella and just below the edge of the nares to see the effect.
Best wishes.

There are certainly patients whose nostrils flare noticeably when speaking or smiling, seemingly with a life of their own. In these cases a few units of neurotoxin (Botox or otherwise) directly into the small muscles controlling this movement can be very helpful. However, in your case (based on the photo provided) your nose is tracking in an expected manner commensurate with the smile you produce. Therefore, I would not expect Botox to have the slimming effect you desire.
