How Effective is Botox for Changing the Shape and Size of a Nose? (photo)

It is critical that you understand that essentially only two specialties provide reliable rhinoplasty:  Plastic surgeons and facial plastic surgeons.  Facial plastic surgeon receive the most systemic training in rhinoplasty techniques.  Plastic surgeons who have completed an aesthetic fellowship may also have extensive training in rhinoplasty.  fellowship training is not the only way to learn this procedure.  Many very solid rhinoplasty surgeons developed and refined there skills while in practice.  Just be aware being a board certified plastic surgeon or a fellowship trained facial plastic surgeon does not guarantee that one can perform your rhinoplasty to your liking.  It was once the case (and it is still true today) that in larger markets, there would be the guy in that market that dominated rhinoplasty in that town.  Often what you got was the same basic rhinoplasty for everyone.  Now the best rhinoplasty surgeons offer very individual and customized surgeries that much more closely approach what is requested by the patient.  For this reason, it is essential that you carefully do your homework in finding a rhinoplasty surgeon who is right for you.  BOTOX will have minimal effects.  Alar reduction can cause visible scaring and should only be undertake after careful consideration of your overall concerns.

sometimes alar flaring can be a result of overactive muscles in the area that can be softened with the use of Botox. it is a temporary effect. the good thing is, its non-invasive, no downtime, much affordable and if u dont like it u dont have to do it again  as it is reversible. if u much rather prefer a permanent route its best to have a rhinoplasty done that will correct alar flaring.
