Question:
I like everything about my nose but my nostrils which I think are too big. Can this alone be changed through surgery and how?
Answer:
Enlarged nostrils can be corrected during rhinoplasty (nasal surgery) through a variety of nostril narrowing techniques. Which exact technique is used depends on the shape of your nostril and where the excess lies. In general, techniques involve excision of redundant tissue along the floor or the lateral aspect of the nose. Carefully placed and executed excisions can leave a barely perceptible fine line scar.
Reshaping your nostrils is possible with today’s rhinoplasty techniques; consulting with a board certified facial plastic surgeon is the first step to achieving the nostril shape you are looking for.
