Are my alar rims cut too high?

Asked By:honeyfosho in Los Angeles, CA

I am day 15. My PS trimmed my alar & RIM to make my nostrils show more & narrowed it. Top picture is photoshopped of how I would like my nose, it looks natural and more like refined version of my original nose. I edited it by bringing the alars down & pushing the tip up. The Bottom pic is how my nose is now, looks too small for my face & alar base too v-shaped. My bf says I look like I have a sneer on my face bcuz my nostrils look high! Nostrils are still swollen, will this change?
