Hello, The flare, show and size of the nostrils is often addressed through rhinoplasties. That said, only board certified surgeons of extensive experience with delicate rhinoplasties are the most qualified to provide commendable results. Being a triple board certified, I have performed multiple surgeries where addressing the nostrils was at the core of the procedures. However, every patient is different and every case is treated differently and should be approached in a custom manner as modifying the nostrils will have a noticeable impact over the nose and the face ultimately. I hope this helps. Thank you for your inquiry. The best of luck to you. Dr. Sajjadian
An alar base reduction can reduce the size of the nostrils. I would recommend a consultation with a board certified facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon. During a consultation, computer morphing software may be used to help get an idea of how your nose may appear following surgery. Once your image is morphed, you and your surgeon may discuss what procedures may benefit you most, and develop a plan for your surgery. Thanks, and best of luck!
Alarplasty can address two different nostril shapes: it can reduce width and/or excess flare of the nostrils. This is achieved by removing a small wedge of skin from the side or floor of the nostril. The incisions are usually barely visible if at all.
It is possible to reduce nostril size, nostril show, and nostril flare with rhinoplasty. The link below shows an example
The nostrils can be made smaller through an alarplasty procedure. A small incision is made at the base of the nostrils and a small amount of skin is removed from the nostril sill and the nostrils are narrowed. This can be performed as a stand alone procedure known as an alarplasty or it can also be performed at the same time as a full rhinoplasty.
