Hi there! I am 19, and I have always been insecure about the size of my nostrils. I really like the shape of my nose, I think it suits my face, I also like the profile of my nose. But once I start smiling or speaking, my nostrils flare a lot and my nose gets really wide. One nostril is also bigger than the other. I really just want my nostrils a bit smaller, I don't want to change the entire shape of my nose.

Answer: Subtle alar base reduction for width? A stand-alone alar plasty can accomplish narrowing wide nostrils. For a subtle improvement, the incision but can be located completely on the inside of the nostrils. For a moderate reduction, there will be an incision at the alar crease at the base of the nostril. This procedure can be performed under local anesthesia as an outpatient surgery. For more information and many examples, please see the link and the video below

Answer: Rhinoplasty for nostril width Dear lanafama,It is indeed possible to narrow and reduce the nostrils with rhinoplasty surgery. The nostril base narrowing may be relatively straight forward. The asymmetry correction may not. You might require cartilage grafts to address this issue. Good luck!
