Nasal Flare Botox Guide: Who Should Get It and Is It Better Than Nose Wing Surgery?

What is nasal flare Botox?

Nasal flare Botox is the injection of Botulinum Toxin Type A into the small muscles on both sides of the nostrils. These muscles are the ones that lift or flare the nostrils when you smile, laugh, or breathe heavily.
This treatment relaxes those muscles, reducing nostril flaring. It helps the nose look slimmer, the nostrils less wide, and overall improves facial balance, especially when speaking or showing facial expressions.

What causes wide nostrils and how can you tell if it’s your case?

Wide nostrils can be caused by several factors. The main reasons include:
  • Excess soft tissue or fat around the nose: If the side of your nose feels soft and you can pinch and lift a lot of skin, you may have naturally thick nasal tissue. This is common in Asians or people with a “button nose” shape.
  • Overactive nasal muscles: Our facial muscles move all the time, especially when we talk or smile. This often causes nostrils to flare. Botox can help relax these muscles.
  • Large nasal cartilage structure: If your nostrils look wide even when your face is relaxed and they go beyond the inner corner of your eyes, this is likely due to large nasal cartilage. In this case, only surgery (alar reduction) can fix it.

How to know if you have wide nostrils:
  • When you talk, smile, or laugh, your nostrils lift or flare beyond the inner corners of your eyes — this shows the muscles are overactive.
  • If you pinch the nostril area and can lift a lot of soft tissue, it means you have thick nasal skin — often genetic.

How does nasal flare Botox help?

Botox works on the muscles that pull the nostrils outward. When these muscles contract, the nostrils lift and spread, like when breathing deeply or making expressions.
Once the Botox fully takes effect, these muscles relax. This stops them from pulling the nostrils outward, making the nose look slimmer and more defined. It naturally reduces the flared appearance of the nose.
See the illustration below for a simple explanation:
How does nasal flare Botox help?

How many days until you see results from nasal Botox?

You’ll see the most visible results within 2 to 4 weeks after the injection.

How long do the results from nasal Botox last?

The effect usually lasts around 3–4 months. Since it's injected into small muscles, the results may last a bit shorter with about 3 months on average.

Who is nasal flare Botox suitable for?

  • People with flared nostrils caused mainly by overactive muscles
  • People who feel self-conscious when their nostrils flare while talking, smiling, or making facial expressions
  • People who don’t want surgery, scars, or recovery time
  • People who already had a nose job but want small adjustments like reducing nostril flare or making the nose look smoother
Note: You can get nose Botox at least 2 weeks after a nose surgery. Always inform your doctor about any past facial procedures.

Nasal flare Botox vs Nose wing surgery — Which one is better?

Both Botox and surgery can help reduce wide nostrils, but they solve different problems and give different results. The better choice depends on your specific concern. Let’s look at it from two angles:

Method and results

Nasal flare Botox relaxes the muscles that pull the nostrils outward. The result is a naturally slimmer nose and narrower nostrils. Best for people with nostril flaring due to muscle movement.
Nasal wrinkle Botox removes excess skin or cartilage to permanently change the nose structure. It’s better for those with thick skin or large cartilage that can’t be improved with Botox.

Pros and cons

Nasal flare Botox Pros: No surgery, no downtime, no scars. Visible results in about 1 month. Cons: Temporary results. Not effective for wide nostrils caused by bone or cartilage.
Nasal wrinkle Botox Pros: Long-term structural change. Good for thick tissue or large cartilage. Cons: Requires 5–7 days of recovery. Risk of scarring. More expensive. Difficult to correct if results are unsatisfactory.
Note: Already had nose wing surgery but still see nostril flaring? A doctor can evaluate whether Botox might help fine-tune the result.

What’s the difference between nasal wrinkle and nasal flare Botox?

Nasal flare Botox and nasal wrinkle Botox have different purposes and injection techniques:
  • Nasal flare Botox targets muscles on the sides of the nose to stop nostrils from flaring during facial expressions like smiling or talking. It makes the nostrils look smaller and more controlled.
  • Nasal wrinkle Botox is injected into the center of the nose to relax small muscles that pull the bridge down when smiling. These muscles cause the nose to look flat and create “bunny lines.” Botox here helps the nose bridge look sharper and more defined.
Both treatments can be done together to improve the nose shape from both the front and side views, making it slimmer and more balanced.

What is nasal lifting Botox?

Besides the nostril sides and bridge, there’s another area where Botox can be used which is called nasal lifting Botox.
This technique involves injecting small amounts of Botox in a straight line along the nose bridge, from top to bottom. It helps smooth the surface of the nose and gives it a more refined shape. The result is a more balanced and natural-looking nose line.

How many units does the doctor usually use for visible results?

To shape and refine the nose properly, doctors often recommend treating all 3 main spots using about 50 units in total.
If you only treat one spot, such as just nasal flare or just the wrinkle, the dose is usually no more than 25 units per spot.
The number of units depends on your muscle condition, how severe the issue is, and the doctor’s evaluation. At MEGA CLINIC, your facial structure will be carefully assessed first.

What else should you know before getting nasal flare Botox?

How to prepare if you’re worried about bruising

If you’re concerned about bruises or visible needle marks since the nose area has thin skin and visible veins, here are some prep tips:
  • Stop taking certain painkillers and supplements at least 2 weeks before, , such as aspirin, NSAIDs, vitamin E, vitamin K, fish oil, and evening primrose oil. These can slow blood clotting and make bruises last longer.
  • Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before the injection, as it can expand blood vessels and make bruising more visible.
Note: Any small bruises from the procedure will fade naturally within 7–14 days. You can use makeup or bruise-reducing cream in the meantime if needed.

Can Botox be affected by heat?

ดูแลตัวเอง หลังฉีดโบท็อกลดกราม
After getting nasal flare Botox, you can wash your face, apply skincare, and even use nose pore strips as usual. Just avoid pressing or squeezing pimples hard around the injected area especially in the first 3 days.
Can I be in the sun after Botox? Normal sunlight won’t break down Botox, but the skin on your nose is sensitive. Strong sun for long periods can cause redness, irritation, or peeling. Avoid harsh sunlight if possible.
Can I eat BBQ or hot pot after Botox? Yes, you can eat hot foods like BBQ, shabu, or soup as usual. The temperature of food or steam isn’t high enough to affect Botox injected into the muscles.
But during the first week, avoid direct heat near your face — for example, don’t lean too close to a grill or steam your face.

Does nasal flare Botox hurt?

The nose has many nerves, so nose contouring Botox tends to sting more than other areas. It feels like a quick pinch or tightness, but it’s tolerable. The doctor assistant will apply a cold pack before injecting. If you’re worried, you can ask for numbing cream at no extra cost.

FAQ: Frequently asked questions

Q: Can I get nose Botox often? How much time should I wait between sessions?

You can get nasal Botox every 3–4 months, depending on when the effect starts to wear off. If your nostrils begin to flare again, you can return to the clinic for a doctor’s evaluation.
Note: Avoid getting Botox too frequently. It may increase the risk of Botox resistance in the long term.

Q: Why does nose Botox seem to wear off faster than other areas?

This is normal. Botox injected into small muscles, like the nose orwrinkle areas doesn’t last as long as when injected into larger muscles like the jaw, shoulders, or calves. On average, nose Botox lasts about 3 months, which is standard for small-muscle treatments.

Q: Can nose contouring Botox change my nose shape?

Nose contouring Botox doesn’t change your nose structure permanently like surgery. Instead, it temporarily improves the shape by relaxing the small muscles that affect movement or flaring. This makes the nose look more refined and balanced, but it doesn’t change the overall size or make the nose higher like rhinoplasty would.
