John Tang, MD · Answer

Yes, the nasal flare can be lessened with Botox or other neuromodulator.  Typically this will last 2-4 months and will have to be repeated to maintain optimal results.  Please be sure to have an experienced cosmetic surgeon do this since not all injectors know how to do this area.

Hi,
Thanks for your question. 
Botulinum toxin can improve nasal flare but only in dynamic action, usually not in static position.  Botulinum toxin relax the muscles that pull the nostrils laterally and so reduce the nasal flare.
I would recommend to make an appointment with an expert doctor who can make a bespoke facial assessment and treatment plan 
Best Wishes
