Alarplasty is almost impossible to reverse without causing significant scarring. However, the tip can be softened by removing any cartilage or implant that is making it more defined or giving it more projection. It is not possible to get your exact nose back but the ethnic appearance can be...

During a revision alarplasty, the surgeon may be able to lift and reposition the base of your nostrils to a higher position on your face, as well as adjust the width across your cheeks. They may need to make a new incision or modify the existing one to achieve the desired changes. The surgeon...
