The flaring of the nostrils, if dynamic, is caused by muscular contractions. Surgical procedures to narrow them will do just that, but may not eliminate true 'flaring' if that is what is going on. You should seek consultation with an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate the dynamic nature of your problem and determine if alar surgery is right for you.Hope this helps!Best,Dr. Most
An alarplasty can make your nostril alar rims tighter and less prone to animation. A consultation is necessary to give you definitive recommendations.

It would be helpful to clean your nose with water and soap, but generally there is no need to remove or trim the hair, as this is routinely done by the surgeon at the very beginning of the procedure. Good luck!
Dear dulcee1, Thank you for your clinical post and photograph. A deviated nose or crooked nose is a difficult entity to completely correct. Adjustment in the bony impairment and soft tissue architecture including cartilage and septum is required. There is often a residual deviation...
Dear Startup,Envision a small piece of cheese (the graft) between two pieces of bread (the skin). The bread will eventually stick together holding the graft, and sutures can be used to keep the graft in a certain place until this happens. As long as the cheese isn't hanging over the edge of the...
