Will Smiling and Yawning in the First Week After Alarplasty Affect the Final Results?

dl4500May 28, 2013
It has been exactly one week since my alarplasty and there have been a few times when I've smiled/yawned/sneezed and I felt as if my nostrils would rip. I haven't had my sutures removed yet. Can these things affect the final outcome of my alarplasty?

Alar plasty will not reduce a nose that over widens upon smiling. All noses get wider when you smile.  Alar plasty is to narrow the nostril sil when you're not smiling.
