My nostrils are quite triangular. Would rim grafts be the best option for getting circular nostrils? I’m African American so it’s quite bizarre to see triangles. I don’t want filler because I’m wanting something permanent. Would this be a hard thing to fix?
Answer: Rhinoplasty Hi, It is better for you to consult with your facial plastic surgeon who can examine you and give you opinion based on examination. It is depend on surgical findings, to decide for proper way of fixing that.

Answer: A permanent non-surgical nose job may be helpful for lowering retracted nostril margins. Based on your photos, I would suspect that you may have had previous rhinoplasty surgery. Inverted V appearance at your nostril margins could be due to nostril retraction. Depending on your examination, these areas may be lowered and softened with microdroplet Silikon-1000 injections. For many people, this is a welcome alternative to nasal surgery. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Answer: Catilage graft to repair triangular notching The notching you're experiencing is likely due to trimming of the lateral alar cartilage, followed by the closure of the incision inside the rim with a suture that may have been slightly too tight at the area known as the soft triangle. While fillers can offer some improvement, as you mentioned, their results are often temporary. A more lasting solution would likely involve placing a lateral alar rim graft or a graft in the notched area, along with potentially releasing the tighter scar tissue at that spot. The graft can be placed first to assess if it resolves the issue before considering any additional steps during the same procedure.

Answer: Filler for nostril shapeing It is very likely that a small amount of filler, properly placed would improve nostril shape. However, you will need an expert to do that; it is not a task for an injector. Good luck.
