Is it possible to expand my Nostrils or nasal cavities?

December 5, 2019
Asked By:richardrogers in New York, New York

Hi, I have always felt that my nostrils/nasal cavities are too narrow. Whenever, I pull the sides of my external nose ("Fibro-fatty tissue"?) outwards, I can breathe freely. The kind of feeling you get when you are under-water for a minute and then you come out and can breathe again. Is there a simple way to increase the size of the nostrils or nasal cavities? For example some type of semi-rigid tubes inserted in the nostrils which over time increase the size of the nostril holes. Thanks
