Nostril Enlargement

Tags: nostrils, asymmetry, alar, duration

15 years ago I had a nostril enlargement where the alar sill was separated all the way inside.I am planning to reattach them.I have contacted a surgeon who said the alar junction will also be done.I think he is very capable, but he said it will only take 35 minutes. It this too fast? Another surgeon advise me against the surgery as it will leave a very bad scar when the alar sill is affected. If the nostrils are asymmetrical will I need to redo the whole surgery or can it be easily fixed? tqs
