I had rhinoplasty with Alar Base Reduction 3 weeks ago. I HATE the outcome. I have no alar flare left, nostrils are terribly asymmetrical and he overresected alar tissue. He actually botched me and I’m devastated. I don’t know what to do as I know rewidening the base requires external tissue but I’m desperate enough to accept scarring. I’m so depressed. Is there ANY way to improve this? Please. I don’t look like myself anymore.

Nostrils that have been over narrowed may be widened. Many techniques exist from simple Z-plasty to composite grafts from the ear. Please seek out a surgeon who is qualified and has done complex revision rhinoplasty
