Nasal alar slimming with botulinum toxin is a non-surgical aesthetic-medicine procedure that can subtly reduce the apparent width of the nose and improve its proportions. It involves precise injection of botulinum toxin into muscles surrounding the nasal alae, which relaxes them and may create an optical slimming effect.

This method is suitable for patients seeking a subtle, natural effect without surgery and without long downtime.

Treatment outcomes:

• optical slimming of the nose
• improved facial proportions and harmony
• natural effect without changing facial features
• smoothing of minor asymmetries around the nasal alae

Anesthesia: usually not needed

Downtime: minimal; mild redness possible

Duration of effect: 2–4 months

The procedure is preceded by medical consultation, during which the appropriate dose is selected based on nasal anatomy and the expected effect.
