I am 21 and I had my rhinoplasty about 7 months ago and the triangular nostril shows a lot more in back cameras and I would like to ask how it can be corrected
Answer: Alar retraction and notching Your alar rim is retracted and you have notching at the soft tissue triangle on the right side. This can be corrected in a revision rhinoplasty procedure with specific maneuvers designed to support these areas. Best to be seen by a rhinoplasty surgeon to discuss how to address these concerns.

Answer: Rhinoplasty recovery: things you should know Thank you for your question and photos. Being that your rhinoplasty procedure was only seven months ago, you’re still considered to be around the midway point of the recovery process. The final results will be easier to evaluate one year after your surgery as the nose may continue to shift in shape and alignment until that time. If you still find the final appearance of your nose unsatisfactory at this time, a revision rhinoplasty can be performed to reshape the nose and address nostril symmetry. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon who can assess your concerns while taking your surgical history into consideration.

Answer: Asymmetric nostrils after rhinoplasty Asymmetry of nostrils is very frequent preoperatively. In some cases it is addressed with particular nostril procedure in the course of rhinoplasty; if left untreated, it may become more noticeable after rhinoplasty. You should wait few more months for your result to settle and mature; if significant asymmetry still persist, you should address this issue with your surgeon. Correction is possible usually in local anesthesia. Good luck.

Answer: Revision Rhinoplasty Hello Dear! I would like to explain you how to fix the appearance according to your wishes. To achieve a straighter and intact look, best option is to add cartilage on the left side of the nose. It can be ripped from the ear or the rib. This will create a more even look; allowing patient to have permanent solution. At the same time, nostrils can be fixed by reshaping them coherent to the cartilage. You are seven months post operation which means there is no obstacle for you to take action for the revision if you wish to proceed with it.
