I do not think that my alar reduction was successful. My nostrils seem to have lost their curve. What can be done? Also would dermabrasion help with the scars?

Unfortunately, it is easier to thin the skin than thicken it but different filler materials could be used as well as possibly fat injections. Other material could be implanted surgically like fascia, alloderm, cartilage. I would recommend seeing a plastic surgeon for a further evaluation.
It is difficult to say from your photo but it could just be scar tissue from the incision that was used to do your surgery. It would be unlikely that you would have a deviated septum after a nose surgery if you did not have it prior to this.
This is an excellent question. There is no magic number as you can see from the various posts. The take home message is simple: rhinoplasty is ok once your growth spurt has finished. Boys can use their brothers and father as a general guideline as to the timing of surgery. Girls can compare...
