I want to reduce my nasal flare/nostril crease, what are my options? (Photos)

Question

The creases by my nostrils, even when I'm not smiling, are really pronounced. When I smile, the crease deepens creating a huge dark shadow. I'm not very satisfied with the appearance and find myself untagging photos because of the dissatisfaction. I would really like to deal with this problem before I age too much.

You can use well-placed Botox to decrease a nostril flare. You'll want someone meticulous. Botox results resolve in 3-4 months. See an expert for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer

Thanks for this question.I believe you're a good candidate for a dermal filler injection into the laugh lines. I would ask you to consider a more flexible dermal filler like Restylane Defyne or Refyne. Good luck. Dr. ALDO

based on the photos submitted, the nasal flare is correctable with small doses of Botox. The Nasolabial folds cabin be corrected with precisely placement of HA Filler. My choice for filler in this area is Vollure. I recommend to get a formal medical evaluation by an expert. Best luck. J. Tamiry, M. D.

Thank you for your question and pictures. A small amount of Botox can be used to decrease nostril flare. Looking at your pictures, you are also a good candidate for dermal fillers at the nasolabial folds. I hope this help. All the best, Dr.Michon
