1 Week Post-Op and I'm Not Satisfied with the Result of my Alarplasty, Too Early to Decide?

It is too soon after your surgery to assess your surgical result. I would expect there to be tissue swelling in your nose still that needs to resolve. Also there will be a scar contracture process that will cause the result to evolve further with time.

yes too early

one week is very early

i ask myself and my patients to resist making judgement until at least one month (and even that is too early)

the earliest you can get a good sense for how things are going to look is three months, and it really takes a year to get the best sense of what the results will be

1 week post surgery is still very early for you to judge the results of your surgery - be patient and follow up with your surgeon

One week is far to premature to be unsatisfied with you results. Post-operative swelling can last for a few months and it can take up to 6 months before your final result is revealed. I would be patient and follow up with your surgeon and be compliant with your surgeon's post-operative instructions.

At one week post-op it is way too early to see the final result of your alarplasty. You shoudl give it a few months.
