Is there a way to make my nostrils appear less wide without an alarplasty? (photos)

November 7, 2023
Asked By:Darrelayala in Sanger, California

I am an African American male and recently, some insecurities about my nose have been arising. I feel as though it is too wide and too bulbous. If there were a way to make my nostrils appear less wide without alarplasty that would be also be wonderful. I find that oftentimes alarplasty can make an ethnic nose look much too different. I’ve attached some photos below and was just wondering if there was anything you would recommend. Thank you.
