Alar base reduction scarring. What can be done to revise scarring on nasal sill?

June 25, 2016
Asked By:anon12334

I had an alar base reduction that involved Weir excision, and also excision of alar hooding (which was not significant in my opinion) along the lower part of the alar rims. Unfortunately, the right nasal sill looks notched / distorted or "cut off". It looks as if the right nostril was cut and pasted on. It is creating asymmetry where the bottom of the right nostril looks shorter than the right nostril. What can be done to revise this? Can fillers or a graft be used to recreate the nasal sill border?
