How Long Before I See Alar Base Reduction Results?

 In most cases, you should see the results from alar base resection immediately.  If you have significant swelling, it may take a week or two for this to resolve and the tissues to settle.  Good luck with your recovery.

Alar base reduction results will be seen immediately after the surgery. The skin that is removed from the alar base once removed is clearly evident even through the swelling. It will become more evident over the next several weeks after the surgery as swelling decreases.
