Uneveness on alar crease area after primary septorhinoplasty. Will it improve? (photos)

June 19, 2016
Asked By:Johnny79 in Spain, ES

I’m 45 days after primary septorhinoplasty, open approach. Tip was refined and an alarplasty was done. One side is fuller on the alar crease area and the other has an ident. Doctor said it is “probably” edema as nothing was done on this particular area. Will it even out? Doctor also mentioned having performed LLC cartilage turnover instead of ressection. PS: I actually prefer the fuller side because it looks more natural to me.
