This is a procedure that reduces widened nostrils to make the nose look smaller and more prominent.
Nose tip reduction is a surgery that reduces the horizontal width of the nose by excising and suturing wide or thick nostrils. When performed in conjunction with tip rhinoplasty and augmentation rhinoplasty, it further refines the frontal impression.
A portion is excised along the inner or outer boundary of the nostril to reduce its width. To minimize scarring, the incision line is hidden within the natural boundary.
Balance is important, as excessive resection can make the nostrils unnaturally small. Depending on the incision method, micro-scars may remain.
The incision line is hidden in the natural crease of the nostril border, making it inconspicuous, and fades over time.
As the width of the nostrils decreases, the exposure of the nostrils is also reduced, but excessive reduction can look unnatural, so balance is important.
