Question about fitting Amara View

Question about fitting Amara View
I have been using the Amara View for a few months , and so far have good success, except for this problem. 
If I used a medium frame, it fits well around my lower lip, however, the mask's nostril openings are larger than my nostrils. That caused a lot of leak through the nostrils. 
If I used a small frame, it fits well around the nostrils, but there were many times that my lower lip fell out of the cushion causing large air leak. 
Does anyone have similar experience and advice how to get around this problem.

Thanks.

RE: Question about fitting Amara View
I seemed to have nothing but trouble with my Amara View hybrid mask. My solution for fixing mine was a different mask. Wish I could help.

Have a look at the f30, very similar to the Amara View but might just give you a little more room. I use an Amara but I wear a soft collar which keeps my mouth in the same position so it doesn't fall open and out the mask
