Reducing nostril widening involves relaxing the muscles that flare the nostrils during facial expression or speech. Botulinum toxin is injected into the levator labii superioris alaeque nasi muscle to limit this movement. The result is a more refined, symmetrical nasal appearance. Treatment is quick with subtle, natural results.

Some individuals experience excessive nostril flaring or widening when speaking, smiling, or expressing emotion. This is often due to overactivity of the Levator Labii Superioris Alaeque Nasi (LLSAN) muscle, which controls movement in the upper lip and nasal area. In cases where nostril widening appears disproportionate or distracting, botulinum toxin (commonly known as Botox®) can be used to relax this muscle, creating a more balanced and refined nasal appearance.

How Does the Treatment Work?

The LLSAN muscle is responsible for lifting the upper lip and flaring the nostrils. Some individuals naturally have stronger muscle contractions, leading to visible nostril expansion when talking or smiling. By precisely injecting botulinum toxin into this muscle, we can reduce excessive movement, subtly narrowing the nostrils and improving facial symmetry.


Benefits of Targeting the Levator Labii Superioris Alaeque Nasi Muscle

• Reduces excessive nostril widening, especially during speech or smiling.

• Improves facial balance and symmetry, creating a more refined nasal contour.

• Subtly narrows the nostrils without affecting natural breathing or expression.

• Non-surgical alternative for those seeking nasal refinement without rhinoplasty.

What Does the Procedure Involve?

• Precise botulinum toxin injections are placed into the Levator Labii Superioris Alaeque Nasi muscle on both sides of the nose.

• The procedure takes approximately 5–10 minutes.

• Minimal discomfort, as the injections are quick and use ultra-fine needles.

• No anaesthesia is required, and normal activities can be resumed immediately.

What to expect from your procedure:

  • Treatment Duration:

    5 - 10 minutes

  • Pain Level:

    Minimal Discomfort.

  • Downtime:

    There is no downtime, though mild redness or swelling at the injection site may occur temporarily.

  • Results Seen:

     Initial results appear within 5–7 days, with full effects visible at 10–14 days.

  • Longevity:

    The effects typically last 3–4 months, with repeat treatments required to maintain results.

Who is Suitable for This Treatment?

This treatment is ideal for individuals who:

• Experience excessive nostril widening when speaking, laughing, or expressing emotion.

• Want to achieve a more symmetrical nasal appearance.

• Prefer a non-surgical alternative to rhinoplasty.

• Are looking for a temporary, subtle refinement to improve facial proportions.

Our expert practitioners will assess your nasal structure, muscle movement, and treatment goals during your consultation to ensure the best possible outcome.


Limitations and Considerations

• Temporary Results – Effects last 3–4 months, requiring maintenance treatments for prolonged results.

• Precision is Essential – The LLSAN is a delicate muscle, and improper dosing may affect upper lip movement or facial expression.

• Not a Replacement for Surgery – While botulinum toxin can reduce nostril widening, it does not alter the nasal structure like rhinoplasty.

Long-Term Benefits of Regular Botulinum Toxin Treatments

• Muscle Fatigue & Reduction in Bulk – With repeated treatments, the targeted muscle becomes weaker over time due to reduced activity, leading to a gradual slimming effect in areas such as the jawline, trapezius, and masseter muscles.

• Prevention of Deep Static Lines – Regular use of botulinum toxin reduces repetitive muscle contractions, preventing wrinkles from becoming permanently etched into the skin and resulting in a smoother, more youthful appearance.

• Increased Longevity of Results – As the underlying muscles adapt to reduced movement, many clients find that they require fewer units over time or that results last longer between treatments.

• Gradual Muscle Wastage (Atrophy) – Over time, the muscle experiences atrophy (a decrease in size and strength), leading to longer-lasting results and a reduced need for frequent treatments in some cases.

• Enhanced Facial and Body Contouring – In areas like the jawline, trapezius, or masseter muscles, consistent treatments reduce bulk and refine the contour, creating a naturally sculpted and balanced aesthetic.
