A wide nose can be improved through methods such as nose reduction. Nose reduction is a cosmetic surgery procedure for people with hypertrophic noses, overly flared noses, and oversized nostrils. Nose reduction can reshape the nose and improve the appearance of the nose, and the results can usually be sustained over time. Depending on the widening of the nose, the doctor will choose a specific surgical method for treatment. For mild nasal widening, insertion of the nasal columella can be used to assist in shortening the nostrils; for wide nasal margins, part of the free nasal margins can be excised, and then the surgical incision can be sutured to the inner surface of the nose; and for patients who have an overly thick nose or overly plump nasal grooves, excision of the tissues above the nasal cartilage can be performed to shrink the nose. Nose reduction surgery is delicate and requires high skill on the part of the surgeon, and may leave scars in the short term after surgery. It is recommended that patients with a wide nose go to a regular medical aesthetic institution for formal treatment to minimize the adverse effects after surgery.
