My upturned nose and nostrils. Is it possible to make my nostrils smaller? (Photo)

Hello,Thank you for your question and photo. Since each person’s face is different, the same surgical techniques cannot be used for every rhinoplasty patient. When planning the procedure, a number of different factors must be considered, such as individual face shape and nasal characteristics. Older forms of rhinoplasty attempted to correct wide nostrils by excising nostril skin, but to achieve a more natural improvement, the entire nostril can be reshaped instead. This avoids scars and creates a more natural looking curve than what was possible through skin excision. You may find that you have more than one option available to you. I recommend that you book a consultation with a board certified Plastic Surgeon who is experienced in this area and who's before and after photos appeal to you. They will examine you in person, discuss your aesthetic goals and provide options.All the best

Thank you very much for sharing your concerns with us.The harmony between facial parts makes us instinctively recognize the beauty... without knowing it, without defining it, just a perception that surprises and captivates us.In this regard, I suggest perform a Closed Rhinoplasty (without visible scars) to treat the tip, base and nasal bridge.With this procedure you get a delicate nose, better harmonize with your other facial features.Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Your nostrils can be made smaller with a procedure called alar base resections. Once these are done, I think you will be ok with the rotation of your nose. Obtain a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon near you. Hopefully, they will have Vectra 3 D computer imaging  to give you a good idea as to how your nose should look after alar base resections.
