What can be done to correct alar retraction? (photos)

Question

Hello! I’m quite sad about the alar retraction on my left nostril. I was told it could be fixed 1 year post op with ear cartilage, but I hate waiting that long. I am not having this issue on the right side. How would you fix it? Could it be fixed with a closed revision?

Eric M. Joseph, MD · Answer

In our practice, We recommend microdroplet Silicon 1000 Injections for Nostril lowering after rhinoplasty and retraction. The feasibility of a treatment like this would require an examination. Generally, it is best for the nostril margin to be soft and to be free of swelling. We also suggest waiting for your expected nasal swelling to resolve before considering a permanent filler.. Hope this helps! doctor Joseph.
