Introduction

Generally, regularly pinching both sides of the nasal alae with both hands over a long period may slightly reduce the size for individuals with a flat nose or wide nostrils, but the effect is usually minimal. If an overly large nose affects facial aesthetics, it is recommended to consider cosmetic procedures such as nasal tip reduction, alar base reduction, or comprehensive rhinoplasty to achieve a smaller nose. As surgical procedures carry risks, it is advisable to seek treatment at a reputable medical institution.

How to Reduce the Size of the Nostrils

In general, alar reduction can be achieved through methods such as massage and contouring, cosmetic makeup, botulinum toxin injections, alar base reduction surgery, or alarplasty. It is recommended to regularly clean the nasal skin to prevent the accumulation of oil and dirt, which can help reduce the risk of inflammation and infection in the alar region. Additionally, maintaining proper breathing techniques and breathing primarily through the nose may help minimize adverse effects on the nostrils.
