What is nostril reduction ?

In the context of an ethnic rhinoplasty, some patients request a reduction of the nostrils.

The dimensions of the nostril openings are very variable. They depend on the following parameters:

• The width of the nostrils
• The shape of the cartilages of the tip of the nose: the winged cartilages
• The projection of the tip of the nose and the position of the nasal septum.
• The thickness of the skin of the nose

Why would you want to reduce your nostrils?

The goals of nostril reduction are:

• All patients who wish to refine the tip of the nose and improve its definition
• All patients who wish to reduce the diameter of the nostrils and their width

Who should have a nostril reduction?

Nostril reduction is for:

• Two cosmetic surgery medical consultations to analyze your nose and define your surgical project.
• Anesthesia consultation if general anesthesia
• Pre-operative blood test
