Can nostrils enlarge by blowing the nose after alarplasty?

March 5, 2016
Asked By:aesthetics93 in Ottawa, ON

4 weeks post op, had to blow a little harder than usual to get those dried mucous out, and my nose / tip are still swollen but I feel like my nostrils have gotten a bit larger after blowing my nose? is this possible or did I just cause some more swelling? Could I possibly just be over thinking at 4 weeks? I do feel they are a bit larger , but at the same time I am confused with my mind playing games after dealing with uneven swelling and complications... I really do appreciate your honesty
