What Is Nostril Reduction Surgery?

Nostril reduction surgery narrows the width of the nostrils by removing or reshaping small sections of tissue at the alar base (the outer part of the nose). The goal is to bring the nose into better harmony with your facial features—without making it look surgically altered.

This procedure is:

  • 🔸 Minimally invasive
  • 🔸 Performed under local anesthesia
  • 🔸 Often done as a standalone treatment or combined with rhinoplasty


Who Is a Good Candidate?

You may benefit from nostril reduction if you:

  • Have wide, flared, or asymmetrical nostrils
  • Feel your nose looks large in proportion to your face
  • Want a more delicate and balanced appearance
  • Are seeking enhancement without full rhinoplasty
  • Prefer a natural result with minimal downtime

It’s especially popular among Asian, African, Middle Eastern, and Latino patients looking for subtle refinement while preserving ethnic identity.



What to Expect: Surgery & Recovery

  • Anesthesia: Local anesthesia (with or without sedation)
  • Duration: 30–60 minutes
  • Downtime: 3–7 days (minimal swelling/bruising)
  • Scarring: Hidden in the nostril crease—fades over time
  • Results: Permanent and subtle nostril narrowing

You can expect a more elegant, refined nose base that still feels like you.
