Botox to reduce nasal flaring? (Photo)

Question

I am debating whether to try Botox to reduce nasal flaring. When I smile I do not like how wide my nostrils are and I feel like the flare is noticeable from my side profile. Would Botox be able to fix this?

Jonathan Kulbersh, MD · Answer

Hello, thank you for your question. Botox may be strategically placed to help weaken muscles responsible for nasal flaring while speaking or making repetitive facial movements like smiling. An experienced, qualified injector can identify precise injection points to help reduce your concerns and achieve natural results.

Leslie Pickens, MD · Answer

Yes, Botox and similar products do help nasal flaring and will also lift the tip of the nose which may not be indicated in your case,

Derakhsh Fozouni, MD · Answer

Yes, Botox can be strategically applied by an advanced injector to reduce nasal flaring. The effects of botox last around 2-3 months but not many units are needed for that area.
Hope this helps!
