Nostrils can be made smaller by performing a procedure called Weir excision, which decreases the diameter of the nostrils, and the scars are hidden quite nicely.
Good luck.
Good luck.
Yes, This is commonly done with some reduction of nasal projection but this is left to be done at the end of the procedure because it reduces some without the surgical treatment. Also, the main problem may be very wide alar portion of your nose and only needs the reduction of the nostril but also the overall proportion if your nose needs to look normal and natural
There are many factors with a Rhinoplasty. Everyone's nose is shaped differently and it depends on the anatomy. You are more then welcome to contact my office for a consult and we can discuss the options.

Yes, it may be possible. Please see a fully-trained plastic surgeon for a full evaluation.
If the nostrils are thought to be too large then an alar rim reduction can be performed at the time of rhinoplasty to make the nostrils smaller.
Thanks for your question about rhinoplasty! Yes, absolutely, the nostril size can be adjusted as necessary during a nasal surgery. The first place to start would be an in-person consultation to see if you're a candidate.
