What can be done to reshape the nostrils?

Hi Spring,There are many ways to refine nostrils, it is not limited to just alar reduction.  In fact, alar reduction is the least used method to reshape nostrils.  The cartilages underlying the nostrils are usually reshaped to change the nostril shape.  As with any aesthetic treatment, the most important aspect for the patient is taking the time to choose their surgeon most carefully.  Good luck and be well.Dr. P

There are several ways that the nostrils and the shape can be manipulated.Find a board certified plastic surgeon who performs hundreds
of rhinoplasties and rhinoplasty revisions each year. Then look at the
plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a
sense of who can deliver the results. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

There are several techniques that can be used depending on the position, size, and flare of your nostrils. Pictures, as described on my website, are necessary for me to offer suggestions.
