I had rhinoplasty with alar base reduction in Feb 2012. Didn't like the nose job from the start. I dont have a hump anymore but my nose still looks bulbous (which was my main concern) and the scars are very visible. I'm not sure if I'll be needing a revision.
Answer: HIDEF Scar Revision for Alar Scars using surgical and non surgical methods including fractional RF and fractional laser Alar scars can be white and visible. Hidef protocols can help with visible alar scars on the face. I see a lot of these in my office in Beverly Hills. Surgery is often not needed if lasers and HIDEF scar revision techniques are introduced. In our office, we combine treatments starting with topical pre-conditioning of the scars with Plato's Scar Serum for hypertrophy and Melarase PM for pigmentation. Fractional RF, laser, and micro fractional RF can help limit scar growth. Kenalog IIT can also help reduce scar thickness. For lip lift scars specifically, I use selective Hyfrecation to reduce scarring. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon

Answer: Alar base scars - nostril narrowing
Your best option for trying to improve the scars after alar base reduction would be to try dermabrasion. This treatment under local anesthesia can help to soften the appearance of the scars after your rhinoplasty.

Answer: Alar scars and bulbous droopy tip.
Alar scars and bulbous droopy tip can be revised and you should wait at least 3 more months. The alar scars made in that location almost always heal poorly sue to oily skin of that area.

Answer: Alar/Tip revision
Based on your photos it appears that you would be a good candidate for revision surgery, but an in person examination would be essential. The scars can be treated with dermabrasion or laser resurfacing. You can also benefit from a major columellar strut or septal extension graft
