Best Rhinoplasty Procedure to Fix Wide Nostrils?

February 3, 2010
Asked By:debramoore in home

I'm caucasian, white female who has very wide nostrils. I usually see nose jobs with people that have a hump. I don't have that at all. My problem is I have a very big nose and have extremely wide nostrils that really spread across my face when I smile. It really is hideous. I never hear about narrowing of the nostrils.My surgeon wants to narrow them by cutting at the side of each nostril and then closing it up in the natural seam of the nose. I am worried about scarring. He claims the scarring will be minimal and I can use cover up.
