Had alarplasty in one nostril now instead of being wider is taller - Do I need revision? (photo)

Lola89Aug 31, 2016
I had alarplasty for my right nostril because it was wider than my left nostril. After, I realized that instead of being wider now it's longer then my other nostril and it's really bugging me.
