Is It Possible to Reduce Nostril Flare with Internal Excisions?

October 25, 2011
Asked By:college girl in Houston, Texas

Everytime I go to a consultation (in Houston, TX) and I ask doctors how they will address my nostrils they say "I will make incisions to the inside of your nose". I do not have a problem with sill excisions to decrease the width of my nose, but doctors never say anything about doing alar wedge excisions to address my flare! It's like they dont want to make any external cuts. Is it possible to reduce flare with internal excisions? If so, what technique is this??
