Can I get my Medial Crus reduced? (photo)

August 7, 2016
Asked By:Campba in Toronto, Ontario, Canada

The bottom of my medial crus near the foot plate seem to splay out causing the spine of my nose to be wide and making my nostrils look like slits. I have been told that my medial crus is collapsed cause the bottom to poke out into my nostrils and causing noduals to poke out the top of my nose giving me a wide tip. If I take tweekers and pinch it I like the look and it improves breathing. What is the least invasive procedure to correct. Can I have the bottom sutured together? like a permanent pinching?
