If the flared nose is due to nasal tip cartilage, a tip rhinoplasty should be considered. Flared nostrils surgery corrects nostril flaring for static facial expressions. It is important to know that smile muscles can cause the nostrils to flare, even after an alar base reduction is performed. A wedge-shaped piece of nostril wall is removed, narrowing the nostril width and reducing the flare.Īn alar base reduction decreases the nostril flaring and / or decreases the overall size of the nostrils. The incision is on the inside of the nostril, and is called a Weir incision. To avoid scarring, an alar base reduction is a closed approach. If you relax your face and look straight ahead, and the width of the base of your nostrils is what’s causing them to flare, then an alar base reduction is the solution for you. The thinning of these muscles provides support to the nasal tip while also bringing the nostrils in towards the midline. In this open rhinoplasty procedure, these muscles are accessed by an incision in the base of the columella. Trimming the muscles that cause the lateral pull of the nostrils can decrease their flaring. Rhinoplasty is an operation for static flared nostrils – not flaring nostrils during excessive breathing or laughing. When the patient is at rest, and the patient has flared up nostrils, rhinoplasty is the permanent solution to reshape the nostril. Open rhinoplasty is the solution for those who have a flaring nostrils genetic makeup. It’s important to have an in-person consultation to determine your nostril reduction needs, as everyone’s nasal configuration is different. There are surgical and non-surgical solutions to reshaping the nostrils, whether they flare at rest or while smiling or laughing. What Is the Treatment to Reduce Nostril Flaring? In this image, you can see the nostril flare is a widening of the nostril cartilage. Naturally flared nostrils are often the result of your genetic makeup, but the physical ability to flare your nostrils is not genetic. Is flaring your nostrils genetic? Permanently flared nostrils, or flared nostrils when at rest, can be genetic or they can be caused by previous nasal surgery (see below). There are solutions to reducing nostril flares, no matter when your nostril flaring is most prominent. Most of us have the ability to flare our nostrils, but some people’s nostrils are more pronounced when smiling, inhaling, laughing or when static and at rest.
