“Revision Rhino Resulting In Retracted Alars”
Spent: $1,100 in Philippines
I decided to have revision rhinoplasty on my nose that was already okay. I just wanted it to be slightly narrower, and I stressed that I did not want any more changes done to my doctor.
I'm now 5 weeks post op and yes I have a narrower nose but I ended up with alar retraction. I now look like I'm snarling since my nostrils are flared.
I am scared to undergo another revision rhinoplasty for fear that it will only get worse instead of better. But I am very unhappy with the way I look now and it has taken a toll on me. I am very depressed.
What is the best way to fix retracted alars resulting from revision rhinoplasty without making it worse? And can it be done through a closed procedure?This review is the subjective opinion of a RealSelf member and not of RealSelf, Inc.
