Is it possible to reduce the size of the nostrils with fillers (non surgical way)? (photo)

Question

Especially when I laugh/smile, my nostrils inflate and become huge which makes my face look very unproportional. I’m quite satisfied with my side profile but woulda like to remove this little bump I have in my noaebridge as well. I read about a non surgical method where fillers are injected to make the nosetip high in order to give the illusion of a smaller nose + another substance (?) gets injected in the muscles in the nostrils to relax them so they won’t inflate as much.

I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist to go over your desired results. Facial fillers (like Voluma, Restylane, Juvederm) can be used to improve the symmetry of the nose, but surgery would be needed to improve nostrils or overall shape. Best to see an expert. - Dr. Emer

Injectable fillers are useful for camouflaging a small nasal profile bump. They are also useful for filling indentations. It would not be helpful for flaring nostrils with smiling. Thank you for your question. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Unfortunately, I can't get a good view of your nose.  If you would like the spread or width of your nose to appear more narrow, you could recieve neuromodulator injections along the outside of the nose or add HA filler to the bridge for more prominence.
