From Elevate Magazine: “The skin between my nostrils seems to hang down farther than most people’s. Can this be fixed through surgery, and is it as intensive as a typical nose job? – Brenda, email
Dr. Richard Rival, a facial plastic surgeon who specializes in rhinoplasty in Newmarket and Toronto, responds:
The skin that hangs down in between your nostrils is commonly reduced as part of a rhinoplasty procedure. It is rare that this is the only problem with an individual’s nose, but, if so, it can be repaired without making other changes to the nose. The extent of surgery required would depend on the cause but typically it would be less surgery than a ‘full’ rhinoplasty.”
