Most estimates for swelling and recovery don't cover a surgery where only nostril narrowing was done.
Answer: Minimal downtime from Alar base reduction Narrowing the nostrils as an isolated rhinoplasty procedure is rather rare (although it can be performed after formal rhinoplasty as a "touch-up"). Recovery should really be limited to 1 week. Although some swelling may still be present, it should not limit you in social and professional activities.

Answer: Swelling from nostril narrowing are quite minimal The stitches are out in 5 days and there is a pink line that you can cover with makeup. This will fade in 2-3 months. The swelling is not noticeable.

Answer: Swelling usually subsides a month after surgery With most alar based wedge resections, the swelling usually subsides in the first month after the surgery. This is actually where the skin of the floor of the nose is removed, healing rather rapidly compared to the remainder of the tip of the nose.

Answer: Should be a short recovery after nostril narrowing The Alar Base Reduction (ABR) is a technique to narrow the base of the nose. There should be minimal swelling and the scars should heal quickly. My only advice is to be certain that your doctor does NOT place the scars directly in the skin creases. Although this sounds like it should work, the scars actually do not heal as well as scars on the nostrils themselves.
