- Flaring of the nostrils
Flaring of the nostrils is treated by excising a small strip of skin and nose lining from the entrance to the nose. This is called a Weir excision. The incision is placed in the crease at the junction of the nose and cheek. In this way it is difficult to see.
Nevertheless, problems can arise The scar can become heavy, and if it contracts a notch may appear at the nostril rim. Sometimes, it is difficult to get both nostrils exactly the same so there is asymmetry. Because this makes the nostril smaller breathing may be a little more difficult after surgery.
