Alarplasty slow healing of one nostril? (photos)

pxpxJan 27, 2016
I had my alarplasty surgery at Jan 16 this year. One nostril is already fully dried up and healed very fast. The other one had a lot of scabs and when the scabs finally fell off, the wound area is still very red, wet and the isn't fully healed yet. It it still normal at day 10? Thanks!

You only need one day off from work if you do not mind some swelling and find stitches around the nostrils. However if you want to be looking completely normal then take off 5 days. RegardsDr. J
