Nasal Flare Botox Near Weybridge

What Is Treatment for Nasal Flaring?

Nasal flaring occurs when the sides of the nose move outwards, making the nostrils appear wider. It may be noticeable only during a broad smile or appear during speech, laughter, exercise or deeper breathing.

Several small muscles contribute to movement around the nasal ala. In a carefully selected patient, botulinum toxin may be considered to reduce activity in part of this muscular system. Published clinical literature describes its use for dynamic nostril widening, although results depend on anatomy, muscle strength and treatment technique.

Some patients refer to the procedure as nose slimming Botox. It does not physically make the nose smaller. Instead, it may create a narrower appearance during expression by reducing selected outward movement.

The treatment is different from dermal filler and surgical rhinoplasty. Filler adds volume to alter contour, while surgery changes nasal structure. A consultation is needed to establish whether the concern is muscular, structural or a combination of both.

Botulinum toxin is a prescription-only medicine in the UK. It can only be prescribed following an appropriate consultation with a qualified healthcare professional, and requesting an appointment does not guarantee that treatment will be offered.

Potential Benefits of Nostril Flare Reduction

For an appropriate patient, treatment may soften pronounced widening of the nostrils during smiling or facial expression. The aim is refinement rather than a conspicuous alteration.

The procedure focuses on muscular movement and does not require additional volume to be placed in the nose. This may appeal to someone who is not seeking filler-based contouring.

Careful treatment may create a more composed appearance in photographs or conversation when nasal flaring is particularly noticeable. Outcomes vary, and no specific degree of change can be promised.

The treatment area is small, but planning remains precise. The clinician must consider how the nose interacts with the upper lip, cheeks and smile before selecting any injection points.

The effects are temporary. This allows the response to be reviewed before a future appointment is considered, rather than placing patients on an automatic treatment schedule.

Consultation can also establish when treatment is unlikely to help. If the perceived width is mainly caused by cartilage, bone or the resting shape of the nostrils, another approach or no procedure may be more appropriate.

Preparing for Your Nose Botox Consultation

Contact the clinic before purchasing. Our team will confirm availability and explain the consultation and prescribing process.

Think about when the movement appears. It may help to note whether the nostrils widen during smiling, speaking, exercise or only when taking a deep breath.

Photographs can be useful if the flaring is difficult to reproduce during the appointment. A front-facing photograph taken during a natural smile may help illustrate the concern.

Provide a complete medical history, including allergies, neurological conditions, muscular disorders and any previous reactions to injectable treatments.

Tell your clinician about prescribed medicines, non-prescription products and supplements. Do not discontinue medication unless advised by the GP or specialist responsible for prescribing it.

Disclose previous treatment to the nose, lips or nearby facial areas. Product details and approximate dates may help the practitioner understand how earlier procedures could influence movement.

Where practical, arrive without heavy make-up around the nose. The skin may need to be cleansed before facial animation, symmetry and the proposed treatment area are examined.

Weybridge Station is served by South Western Railway. Patients may plan a rail journey towards Kingston or use the 514 and 515 bus corridor, which passes through Brooklands and continues to Kingston. Live travel information should be checked on the day.

Drivers may travel through Walton-on-Thames or the Esher and Surbiton corridor. Central Kingston offers public car parks, controlled on-street bays and privately pre-bookable spaces.

Aftercare Following Nasal Flare Treatment

Follow the personalised instructions provided by your clinician. Advice can differ according to the product, dose and whether another area was treated during the same appointment.

Avoid rubbing, pressing or massaging the sides of the nose unless specifically advised. Take care when cleansing the face, removing make-up or wearing anything that places pressure close to the treatment area.

You may be asked to avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, steam rooms and excessive heat temporarily. Follow the timeframe provided during your appointment rather than generic online guidance.

Temporary redness, tenderness, swelling, bruising or small injection marks may occur. Headache and temporary differences in facial movement are also possible.

The effect develops gradually and should not be assessed immediately. Anatomy, dose, muscle strength and individual response can all influence the result.

Contact the clinic if you experience an unexpected change or have concerns. Seek urgent medical attention for difficulty breathing or swallowing, slurred speech or unusual widespread weakness. The MHRA strengthened UK warnings in July 2026 regarding the rare spread of botulinum toxin effects beyond the treatment site.

Patients from this part of Surrey already have access to established injectable clinics. Our distinction lies in Dr Laura Geige’s named clinical oversight, careful facial-movement assessment and willingness to advise against treatment where the anatomy does not support the requested result.

The examination is dynamic rather than based only on a still photograph. The practitioner observes the nostrils while you smile, speak and relax to distinguish genuine muscular flaring from natural structural width.

There is no standard injection pattern for every patient. Placement and dose are considered according to anatomy, previous procedures, facial balance and the strength of the relevant muscles.

We use high-quality prescription products sourced through appropriate professional channels. Your clinician will explain the proposed product, expected limitations, relevant risks and whether its planned use is appropriate for you.

Siddeley House offers a discreet ground-floor setting. The clinic room is the first on the left as you enter through the main door. The Grade II listed building was constructed in 1933 as Hawker Aircraft’s experimental shop and has since been adapted for modern office use.

Kingston Station is close to the clinic, as are the Bentall Centre and the Rotunda. Queen’s Promenade and the Thames riverside offer a quieter setting for a walk before or after an appointment.
