Dissatisfied with Alarplasty result. Any suggestions? (photos)

November 24, 2015
Asked By:siwon28 in Brisbane, CA

3 Weeks ago I had an alarplasty performed as a stand alone procedure. While the nostrils have been reduced in circumference slightly I am dissatisfied with the asymmetry and was hoping for more. The inside dis solvable sutures did not hold well and now there are some wide gaps inside each nostril. Scaring at the bottom is also not ideal (although early days) Am I being unrealistic? or should I consider a revision after 6 months? Thank you for your thoughts
