Asked By:gatablanca_ in Jackson Township, New Jersey

hi, i had a primary rhino in july 2021. my nostrils were uneven the entire time of my healing journey. i had a revision in november due to scar tissue making my nose look bulbous. i am 6 months post op rhino and my nostrils are still the same. i had a local procedure in january to try and correct the unevenness and they’re still the same. do i qualify for alarplasty at the year mark? they are truly very uneven and i absolutely hate them. i would like to know my options.
