Had Doctor Made my Nostrils Too Small?

Had Doctor Made my Nostrils Too Small?

i had surgery 40 days ago.i think i am having breathing problem doctor narrowed my nostrils, i think new nose holes are small, can he make them bigger?

Your nostrils do appear a bit tight, but the doctor did not per se make it smaller.  What it appears is that he increased the projection of the tip and by doing this it pulls the alae, the skin outside the holes inward.  You are also pretty swollen given that you are only 40 days out from your surgery.  I would suggest waiting until about 6-12 months and assess the situation then.

Good luck.

Hello Amin,

Did you ask the doctor to make your nostrils smaller?  They look symmetric and yes, give it time for swelling on the inside and outside to resolve, and I think you'll be fine.  Discuss this with your doctor and if still having problems, it can be reversed potentially.  I operate in Iran and have noticed a wide range of philosophies and techniques there.
