Is There a Way to "Thin" Wide Nostrils Without Doing Rhinoplasty?

Unfortunately there is no “do-it-yourself” way to reduce your nostril size. Reducing the size, or making them longer and less wide, requires having surgery. The incision used to reduce the width is typically well-hidden along the crease. If that is your only area of concern with your nose, it would be a short procedure and could be done under local anesthesia. If you have any breathing issues or other aspects of the appearance of the nose, these can be addressed at the same time. I recommend consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon or facial plastic surgeon for an evaluation and discussion of your goals. Even small changes made to the nose affect the overall appearance and proportion of the nose and face, so there is often more involved than simply nostril size.

 

Wide, flaring Neil's cannot be narrowed or "thinned" without surgery. Reducing nostril re requires a surgical procedure called Weir Excsion which could be done local anesthesia if needed.
