Are you looking for nostril reduction surgery in the Bethesda area? Wide or flared nostrils can be a distracting nasal trait that can draw attention away from the other attractive features of the face. Some men and women are unhappy with the appearance of their nostrils and want to reshape the base of their nose. Dr. Munique Maia is an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon who offers nostril reduction surgery at Maia Plastic Surgery in Chevy Chase, MD near Bethesda, MD.

Wide or large nostrils are a common trait that can impact the balance of the nose. While you cannot change your genetics, rhinoplasty is an option to change the shape of your nose. Nostril reduction surgery can reshape the size and appearance of your nostrils to create a balanced, symmetrical nose that blends with your other facial features. This cosmetic surgery can help you feel more confident in your appearance if you are self-conscious of your wider or larger nostrils.

Alar Base Reduction Rhinoplasty

The alar base is the base of the nose where the nostrils reside. Many people are displeased with the width of the alar base and their nostril size. An alar base reduction surgery can minimize the width of the base of the nose and resize or reshape the nostrils without changing the rest of the nose shape. The effect is a nose that is more balanced in appearance, creating more harmony in the facial features.

If your only complaint with your nose shape is the wide base or large nostrils, alar base reduction surgery may be right for you. It can also be included with a complete rhinoplasty that addresses other features of the nose, including the nasal tip or bridge.

When I was diagnosed with breast cancer and had a consultation with Dr. Maia, not only was her expertise evident, her compassion shown through as she walked us through the process. Thankfully, I felt very comfortable trusting her as I underwent reconstruction surgery. I am very happy with the results and highly respect and recommend Dr. Maia.

Dr Maia truly loves what she does. She is invested in making you the version of yourself you want to be. She listens attentively to what you want and makes relevant suggestions. She did not try to introduce anything unnecessary into my treatment plan. The results I achieved during my first treatment keeps me coming back. Her staff is excellent and works to accommodate your schedule. I have recommended Dr. Maia several times and each time I get the same positive feedback.

Selecting a surgeon: After having two children and weight fluctuations over the years I was left with complete loss of volume in my breasts. I had four consultations with other surgeons but after comparing their photos to Dr Maia’s and meeting her in person, I knew she was my doctor. We talked about my lifestyle - being a mom and a professional, I didn’t want to be too big, but I’m curvy so I didn’t want to go too small for my frame either. She let me try on sizes and once I selected she agreed it was a good fit for my frame. Post op recovery: I was a smoker and had quit prior to surgery but she was very honest and adamant in telling me how important it was that I did not smoke. (I honestly needed the lecture and the transparency about what could happen if I did start smoking before surgery and post-op.) Because I was formerly a pretty heavy smoker, it did cause some issues after surgery with wound closing and she was SO diligent and on top of it seeing me once and week and squeezing me in for appointments between surgeries and patients. She prescribed different things to address the would closure issues before they really became a problem. Being able to have text message access to the office was great when I had questions and she even accommodated my schedule when I couldn’t be seen in person to send progress photos so that she could check on me. 3 months post op: I’m so happy with the results of my surgery and am so glad I waited to find the right doctor. She’s an artist! They look natural, fit my body shape and they haven’t even fully “dropped and fluffed” yet. Would highly recommend… comparing her patient photos to other surgeons will end your search. I feel so much better in my body thanks to Dr Maia.

This is my second time at Dr. Maia’s office and I am so pleased with my experience here. The staff is so friendly and caring. Dr. Maia is the best Dr in the DMV area, she knows exactly what she is doing and you will be happy with the results! I am so glad I found her! I recommend anyone who’s looking for a very personable doctor to come and see her! Thank you Dr. Maia & staff!
