Can I Widen My Nostrils?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I was wondering if it’s possible, and safe (low risk for botching/complications), to widen the alar base of the nose. It really adds a strong touch of masculinity that my face is missing. In particular by trying out morphs in a photo editing program, the alar base alone being made wider makes the biggest difference.

A: As long as the nostril widening was not more than a few millimeters that could be done without undue scarring.
