Weir excision on nostrils, are these my final results? 2 weeks post op.

Question

My nostril look wider ,uneven and flared out...also had a rhynoplasty 1 year ago ... doctor said that i have thick skin and still swollen ..... $9000☹️

Thomas A. Lamperti, MD · Answer

It takes at least a year for the nostril reduction scars to mature and fade. You also still have external skin swelling at this early stage so I wouldn't expect your current appearance at just 2 weeks postoperative to be your final result.

P. Daniel Ward, MD · Answer

Thank you for the question. I am happy to say that 2 weeks after surgery is definitely not your final result. The nose takes a very long time to recover and the final result is probably seen after 2 years, not 2 weeks. Hang in there and stay in touch with your surgeon. Good luck in your healing process!
