I had a rhinoplasty two weeks ago. One of my primary goals is to reduce the alar base but my surgeon didn’t perform it during the procedure as he’s planned before the surgery. Now after the surgery I’m still quite unsatisfied about the width of the nose and nostrils. Except this I’m ok with other outcomes. I tried to contact my surgeon but he gave no response. I’m considering a small surgery just to reduce the width of the alar base and nostrils and wonder when could it be done.
