Is it possible to make my nostrils smaller through rhinoplasty?

April 6, 2024
Asked By:Happy.today in England, United Kingdom

I do not want a huge change eg to go to a very small button nose but have always hated my large open nostrils. I had rhinoplasty roughly 10 years ago - a bump on my bridge removed but the surgeon advised he couldn’t make the nostrils smaller since they were flared and he couldn’t add skin that was there. But I would like to get a second opinion. I would also like to ask if I would be suitable for a lip lift at the same time.
