Nose narrowing with botulinum toxin - gentle correction of wide nostrils without surgery<\/h1>\n \n
\n

The most important facts at a glance<\/h3>\n

With the Nasal narrowing with botulinum toxin<\/b> the nasalis muscle, which pulls the nostrils outwards when smiling, is specifically relaxed. This makes the nose appear finer and more harmonious both at rest and during facial expressions - without a scalpel, scars or downtime. Effect begins after 3-5 days, maximum after 10-14 days, average shelf life 3-6 months.<\/p>\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n

The shape of the nose significantly characterises the facial profile and can make a decisive contribution to facial harmony. Many people find wide nostrils in particular, which spread outwards even further when smiling or speaking, disturbing. While surgical rhinoplasty involves a surgical procedure with corresponding risks, scarring and several weeks of healing time, the Nasal narrowing with botulinum toxin<\/b> a gentle, reversible alternative without a scalpel and with immediate social acceptability.<\/p>\n\n

The philosophy of Medical NOVA<\/a> is based on the conviction that aesthetic medicine should emphasise natural beauty, not cover it up. This holistic approach is also reflected in our approach to nose narrowing. Before each treatment, we carefully analyse your individual facial anatomy and facial expressions, because only through this detailed preliminary analysis can we assess whether this method is suitable for you and what results can realistically be achieved.<\/p>\n\n

Unlike with a surgical rhinoplasty<\/a>which permanently changes the bony or cartilaginous structure of the nose, treatment with Botulinum toxin type A (e.g. Botox\u00ae)<\/a> exclusively on muscle activity. This makes it the ideal solution<\/b> for all those who want to make their nose look smaller without undergoing surgery with its risks and long healing phase.<\/p>\n\n

What is nasal narrowing with botulinum toxin?<\/h2>\n \n

The Nasal narrowing with botulinum toxin<\/b> is a precise, minimally invasive method for visually narrowing wide nostrils. This treatment is based on the targeted relaxation of the nasalis muscle - a paired muscle that runs along the side of the nose and pulls the nostrils outwards when smiling, speaking or inhaling deeply. This muscle activity is particularly pronounced in people with a genetically predisposed broad nose or very active facial expressions.<\/p>\n\n

Precise injections of botulinum toxin reduce the activity of this specific muscle, causing the nostrils to be pulled outwards less strongly. The result is a Natural optical narrowing<\/b> of the nose, which is particularly visible when smiling. The treatment requires a deep understanding of facial anatomy and years of experience, as the dosage and placement of the injections must be extremely precise.<\/p>\n\n

\n \"Nasal narrowing with botulinum toxin is not a standard treatment - every nose and every facial expression is unique. It is crucial to precisely analyse whether the widening is primarily caused by muscle activity. Only then can we achieve natural and harmonious results with this method.\"\n - Dr Tukezban Huseynova, Medical Director Medical NOVA<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n

The method differs fundamentally from surgical rhinoplasty. While surgical procedures remove bone, reshape cartilage or remove tissue, the Botulinum toxin treatment exclusively<\/b> with the natural musculature. No incisions are made, no structures are permanently altered and no scars are left behind. The result is a gentle, reversible narrowing without visible traces on the face.<\/p>\n\n

At Medical NOVA in B\u00fclach we combine Extensive experience<\/b> in aesthetic medicine with state-of-the-art treatment techniques. This combination enables us to treat the fine anatomical structures of the nose with particular precision while ensuring the highest safety standards.<\/p>\n\n

Anatomy and mode of action: How does a wide nose develop?<\/h2>\n\n

To understand how the treatment works, it is helpful to take a look at the anatomical principles. The shape and width of the nose is determined by various factors: the bony structure of the nasal bone, the cartilaginous parts of the tip of the nose and the nostrils as well as the surrounding musculature. Whilst the bones and cartilage determine the basic static shape, it is the Muscle activity<\/b>which causes dynamic widening when smiling or speaking.<\/p>\n\n

The nasalis muscle consists of two parts: the pars transversa (transverse part) and the pars alaris (part that attaches to the nostril). When smiling or making active facial expressions, this muscle contracts and pulls the nostrils outwards and slightly downwards. This leads to a clearly visible widening<\/b> of the nasal base and an enlargement of the nostrils.<\/p>\n\n

Many patients report that their nose looks quite satisfactory when they are relaxed and at rest, but appears \"pulled apart\" when they smile. This phenomenon is particularly noticeable in people with a genetically determined broad nose or very pronounced facial expressions. The nostrils spread outwards, which also makes the nostrils appear larger and the entire nasal area looks more dominant.<\/p>\n\n

This is precisely where treatment with botulinum toxin comes in: The targeted relaxation of the nasalis muscle reduces its pulling effect on the nostrils. The nose retains its basic shape, but the Dynamic widening<\/b> in facial expressions is significantly reduced. The result is a finer, more harmonious nose shape both at rest and when smiling.<\/p>\n\n

Who is nasal narrowing suitable for?<\/h2>\n \n

Nasal narrowing with botulinum toxin is suitable for a specific patient group<\/b>This is a method for which certain anatomical and functional requirements must be met. The individual analysis in the consultation is crucial in order to assess whether this method can achieve the desired results.<\/p>\n \n
