Can I get botox/filler to make my nostrils not flare? (Photo)

Dear abbygreene, Thank you for your question. Injectables are not indicated to stop the animation of your nostrils. Best of luck to you.

Hello and thank you for your question.  Surgical rhinoplasty is a better, safer, and more reliable way to change your nose than botox or fillers.  Based on your photographs, you may benefit from a tip refining rhinoplasty and a cephalic rotation of your tip to turn up your tip slightly.  Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and not just a computer animation system.  You should be able to view numerous pictures of actual patients with noses similar to yours performed by your surgeon.  If you cannot find enough real before and after pictures, then consider continuing your search for a surgeon. Best wishes and good luck.
