8 months post op - what can be done to expand my alar base width? (photos)

SakshaMahajanMay 17, 2024
Hi, I had primary rhinoplasty done 8 months ago. Although I did not want, yet my surgeon reduced my alar base width and chopped my sills. Also, she made my tip extremely pointy. I want to expand my alar base width. Please someone help with the possible solutions. I have no solutions left and I am in deep depression since 8 months.
