Correcting Higher Right Nostril After Rhinoplasty?
I am 11 months post-op from Rhinoplasty. My right nostril is 'higher' than the left and it bothers me. I addressed this with my ENT/PS who reluctantly advised that we could do an alar graft (using ear cartilage) to bring the rim down a bit (and said this can be done in the office). Is this common? Is it risky? (meaning what are the chances of over-correction, leaving me with the same issue but just on the other side?)
Alar Graft
Correction is possible but it could be over or under corrected.
