I recently got an alar base reduction 2 days ago (appearantly there should be no swelling involved with this procedure) and my nose is clearly bigger (the tip is rounder) and the base is even wider than it was before the surgery.. How is that even possible? It seems like all the surgery did is make my nose flatter and reduce the projection while making it even wider. Shouls I be worrying? What can be done? The picture on the left is right before, the other 2 are today. Thank you!
