What’s wrong with my alar crease? (Photo)

March 1, 2024
Asked By:Danielles1985 in Sussex, Wisconsin

In 2020 I had rhinoplasty done to remove a dorsal hump. I was very happy with the procedure and the doctor. Now, the front of my nose, when smiling looks terrible. The alar crease is so prominent and now my nose looks like an arrow pointing downwards. It has slowly gotten worse over the years. I have an apt with my surgeon to go over things. Looking for some feedback?
