I notice that my nostrils flare a lot when I talk and seem to be simulating a breathing pattern? I have a deviated septum and have seldom been able to breath out of my nose, so I don't know if that has anything to do with it. I tried to talk to my dermatologist about it, but she said there was nothing that can be done as the muscles in my nostrils are too small and I could paralyze parts of my nose I don't want paralyzed with botox. Is there any other cosmetic procedure that can help with this?
