Wide nostrils repaired through rhinoplasty
Wide or flared nostrils is a common complaint in nasal shaping, and it is very common to see the base of the nose widen after surgery on the upper jaw. Rhinoplasty can reduce the width and flare and reshape the nostril and bring your old nose back, and more if you wish. Best of luck, peterejohnsonmd (Peter E. Johnson, MD, Chicago Plastic Surgeon)
Reducing a Wide Nasal Base
Any type of facial surgery where the jaw is moved can result in changes relating to the appearance of the nose – especially in making it look wider.
If this occurs after surgery or naturally, there are surgical techniques called an alar base resection which is performed by removing wedges of tissues at the base of the nose and the scar sits in the crease where the nose meets the cheek.
However, it is important that you keep the nose in balance with the rest of the nose as well as the face. Thus, you should consult with a plastic surgeon who can help you make a decision – often through the use of preoperative computer imaging to see what your nose might look like after the proposed changes. This can help you make the most educated decision regarding your desire to proceed further. (Vincent P. Marin, MD, San Diego Plastic Surgeon)
Narrowing your Nostrils
In most cases, a small wedge of tissue can be excised (removed) from the nostril. This will help narrow the nose and soften the angle between your nostril and your face giving a smoother transition. (David Shafer, MD, New York Plastic Surgeon)
If you are interested, a rhinoplasty is a great option for you. Your nostrils are a little asymmetric, specifically, your right rim is larger than your left and the tip is full and can be reshaped at the same time. Find an experienced nose surgeon and ask a ton of questions! (John Philip Connors III, MD, FACS, Atlanta Plastic Surgeon)
