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.

Answer: Reducing Wide Nostrils Enlarged flaring nostrils are a relatively common problem. When this situation arises, it’s not unusual for patients to request surgical correction. This can be easily accomplished with a procedure known as an Alarplasty. This procedure involves resection of the alar base tissue at the junction with the cheeks. It decrease the size of the nostrils and hopefully minimizes alar flare.

Answer: Reducing wide nostrils If your surgeon is an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon, you can expect to get excellent results with narrowing the nostrils the way that he described to you, and with minimally noticible scarring. This is a fairly common procedure, and can give you quite a nice nose. Good luck!

Answer: Your nostrils may be narrowed with Rhinoplasty Surgery. The computer-imaging you provide seems to be a realistic expectation after Rhinoplasty Surgery. You see narrowing of your nostrils and tip, along with correction of your tip asymmetry that is causing your lower nose to drift to your left.

Answer: Reduction of wide or large nostrils, but not in isolation. The type of alar base reduction your surgeon is describing is quite appropriate for narrowing the nostrils and when done with meticulous technique, the scars should be a non-issue.
