I've always been self conscious and hated my smile/face. There are many things I'm working now. I'm halfway done my Invisalign. I'm working out to lose weight in my cheeks and neck. However, when I smile, my nostrils flare out and the tip of my nose pulls down to a point. The tip of my nose pulls down too close to my upper lip when I smile. I also have a deviated septum and would like some minor changes to reduce the curve on the bridge of my nose- but not sure about how that works.

Answer: Weir Excisions Thanks for reaching out. The solution to your problem is straight forward. Weir excisions are carried out by making an incision at the base of your nostrils and tightening their footprint. This will result in reducing the amount your nostrils flare out. In regards to the tip of your nose being pulled toward your lip when you smile, this is caused by excess depressor muscles. This can be improved by a small incision inside your nose and cutting the attachments of this muscle. Your septum can be addressed with a septoplasty and can be approached with a closed technique. I would recommend to anyone getting Weir excisions not to undergo open rhinoplasty at the same time as this would greatly reduce the blood flow to the tip of your nose.I hope this helps :)
