How can I change the size of my nostrils/make them smaller? They are very large and flared after my primary rhinoplasty (Photo)

April 29, 2020
Asked By:Practical9443 in Calgary, AB

After my primary rhinoplasty my nostrils were left very large and wide, with lots of alar show. I just want anything that can change the shape or make them smaller as now they detract from the look of my whole nose. Please help!
