I tend to flare my nostrils a lot. This is involuntary and out of my control. I am not even aware when I'm doing it & its making me conscious. It gets worse especially when I am angry or emotional. Can we control flaring through Botox? Would it affect my smile or other surrounding muscles. I do not wish to undergo a surgery. An advice is appreciated. Regards.
Answer: Botox (& Dysport & Xeomin) Can Diminish Involuntary Nasal Flaring Nasal flaring resulting from the movement of the tiny muscles within the walls of the nostrils can be treated with microdroplets of Botox to diminish the overactivity of these muscles in order to reduce the flared nostrils. Caution: this should be performed only by a very experienced physician injector and not simply a novice injector trained to treat the eleven lines between the eyes.

Answer: Botox to treat flaring of the nostrils Dynamic flaring of the nostrils is caused by contraction of alar portion of the nasalis muscle. Botox functions by relaxing muscles and preventing their contraction. A skilled surgeon who understands the detailed anatomy of the nasal musculature may inject a small amount of Botox into the alar portion of the nasalis muscle to prevent excessive flaring of the nostrils. Please keep in mind, that a Botox injection would only improve the dynamic action of nostril flaring. It is important to keep in mind that relaxing this muscle can affect your ability to breathe through the nose. I recommend that you see a board-certified facial plastic surgeon who commonly performs rhinoplasty and understands the intricate anatomy of the nose. Best of luck!

Answer: Nasal flaring Not only will Botox help as the other physicians have described, but well-placed filler, usually at the superior alar grooves can improve nostril flaring. Note: this is not the same place that the Botox is placed. I recommend both Botox and filler done in the same day by an experience injector.
