How Long Should I Wait After Alar Base Reduction to See Results? (photo)

September 3, 2012
Asked By:cookiez59

I had an alar base reduction done (no other procedure) 2 weeks ago and right now my nose is the same size as before surgery!! It's so hard to believe that I had surgery done.My problem has always been a really large base, which got bigger every time I smile. How long after surgery will the base continue to change for? Over time, will the base continue to get smaller/change or no? I was already thinking about an additional reduction if it doesn't change in 2 months-is this bad? I am just worried!
