Properties of Botox or Botulinum Toxin Type A can reduce the activity of muscles in the injection area, causing them to relax and shrink. This results in smoother skin and fewer wrinkles caused by muscle movements.
The aesthetic medicine industry has utilized Botox to shape the nose by targeting three specific areas. Each area involves a different injection technique to achieve distinct results:
For the best results, doctors often recommend administering Botox to all these areas in one session. This combined approach ensures a more proportionate and aesthetically pleasing nose shape.
Wide nostrils mean that the sides of the nose flare out, making the nostrils look larger. This can affect your appearance and make you feel less confident in front of others or during photo shoots. It often happens unintentionally when smiling, laughing, or talking excitedly. People who work in front of the camera or socialize a lot, as well as many others, choose nasal flare Botox to solve this issue.
The Botox injected into both sides of the nose reduces the movement of the small muscles in that area. When these muscles move less, you are less likely to flare your nostrils unintentionally.
If your wide nostrils aren't caused by muscle movement, it might be due to the natural structure of your nose, like cartilage or extra tissue, which is genetic.
Botox for nostrils won't reduce the tissue or change the cartilage structure like surgery does. So, it's important to understand why your nostrils are wide or, better yet, consult with a specialist to find the best solution for you.
After getting nasal flare Botox, the effects start to show in about 2-4 weeks, making it harder to flare your nostrils.
The effects of Botox typically last about 3-4 months. Since nasal flare Botox targets small muscles, the Botox may break down faster, depending on your body and lifestyle.
Nasal flare Botox may cause slight discomfort compared to other Botox areas, but our clinic staff will ensure your comfort with cold compresses and optional numbing cream.
Before getting Botox at the clinic, there aren't many restrictions. However, if you bruise easily or take a long time to heal, avoid the following:
For aftercare to ensure the Botox lasts:
Q: Which areas on the nose are most commonly targeted for Botox injections?
A: Many people focus on specific problem areas when choosing Botox for their nose. The two most popular spots are nasal flaring, to fix wide nostrils, and nasal wrinkles, to fix bunny lines.
For those who want a complete nose enhancement, combining all three treatments—nasal flaring, nasal wrinkles, and nasal lifting Botox is a common choice.
Q: Why does nose Botox seem to wear off faster than other areas?
A: Botox works on different muscle groups, including large muscles in areas like the jaw, shoulders, calves, arms, and legs, and small muscles located closer to the skin in areas like the forehead, around the eyes, between the eyebrows, and the nose.
Since smaller muscles metabolize Botox faster, nose shaping Botox and nasal flare Botox tend to wear off slightly sooner than treatments like v-shape jaw Botox. However, the difference is not very significant.
Q: Can nasal flare Botox be repeated often?
A: Yes, nasal flare Botox can be repeated every 3–4 months, depending on how long the effects last. When you notice your nasal wings moving more frequently again, you can visit the clinic for an evaluation to see if it's time for a new treatment.
