Asian nose: How to reduce the size of my nostrils when smiling? (Photo)

June 20, 2017
Asked By:poreg in Seattle, WA

I had rhinoplasty almost a month ago. They reduced my alar and added a bridge. The bridge is too slim which makes my nose look unnatural. I don't think heeling time will correct this. I am planning get revision surgery asap to remove the bridge because I liked the look of my previous one and to further reduce my alar. My biggest concern is when I smile, my nostrils expand too much, making me feel uncomfortable smiling. Can this be fixed?
