Nostril Reduction Surgery

One of the most common complaints for those considering rhinoplasty is that their nostrils or base of their nose is too wide. The size of the nostrils can seem disproportionate to the rest of the nose and cause an imbalance in the overall appearance of the facial features. Nostril reduction surgery is at the same time simple and intricate. The procedure can be done quickly, but precision is key to getting the desired results. Dr. Rousso specializes in rhinoplasty procedures that create the desired beauty and balance to those wanting nostril or alar base reduction.

Wide nostrils are a common trait, especially with some types of ethnic noses. The nostrils can appear to flare or upturn, causing disproportion of the nasal base and the rest of the nose or other facial features. This can be even more pronounced when smiling, making individuals with this nasal feature self-conscious. Reducing the nostrils can create a more balanced nose, but it is best done in a subtle manner to retain the symmetry and ethnic shape. Nostrils that are too narrow can look overdone and even cause nasal valve obstructions and other problems.
