Please closely read my question. I wanted to know if there is any non-surgical (or non-passing out) procedure that will reduce nasal flare when smiling. Can non-surgical Rhinoplasty help?My problem is this: when I smile, think of a balloon. Around my tip area and a little bit above the tip, my nose flares like a fireball. Any non-surgical OR non-passing out way to fix this so that the nose is narrower in width? Thank you.
