I am planning on having alarplasty to reduce my nostril size. I have rapid growth (so embarassing) of nose hair and was wondering how soon can I trim after the surgery?

Hi,
Just 8 days after alarplasty, you still have some swelling and numbness from the local anasthetics used. This sensation should go away with the next 3 months.
Best,
Dr.S.
Most experienced rhinoplasty surgeons are also experienced in alar base reduction. It is a pretty common procedure. Go ona few consults with different plastic surgeons and you should be able to find a surgeon with whom you are comfortable.
