Answer: Can I get botox/filler to make my nostrils not flare? Hi and thank you for your question. Neuromodulators such as Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, may be used to reduce nasal flaring however this is an off-label use. Only a few units are needed and maintenance is every couple of months. It is important to note that this will only affect the muscle movement and will not change the width of your nose. I recommend you meet with an experienced injector to discuss further. Best wishes

Answer: Microdroplets Of Botox Have Been Used For Years For Nostrils That Flare With Smiling A microdroplet or two of Botox (or other neuromodulator injected into each ala (wings of the nose) can help to diminish unwanted flaring of the nostrils with smiling. Fillers, which are intended to correct static (at-rest) problems, such as wrinkles, would not be helpful for a motion-related (dynamic) issue, such as yours. What's more, owing to the blood vessels in that region, filler use would be ill-advised. Make sure that you consult with a board certified aesthetic physician with experience and expertise in the advanced uses of Botox. Best of luck.

Answer: Nasal evaluation 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. Richard G. Reish, M.D. FACS Harvard-trained plastic surgeon
