Many answers. : A good rhinoplasty or nose job creates balance and harmony of the nose and face. Wide nostrils may be improved with more tip projection or a simple "base reduction" where the wide flaring nostrils are tucked in more narrowly. It's important to recognize that there is no "on size fits all" technique for all noses. Base reductions require experience so that poor scars don't ruin the final result.

Alar base resections: Are the treatment for wide nostrils. This may be combined with other maneuvers done as part of a rhinoplasty. If the nostril size is the only condition that the patient wants corrected, they can be done alone. See a surgeon certified by the american board of plastic surgery. Good luck!
