Disappointed - left with terrible scars that make me very conscious

ORIGINAL POST

Disappointed

worried woman
I had an alarplasty hoping to see a nice change , and after seeing the doctor he advised only 2mm per nostril after I explained the change I wanted .
The surgery was painful , the anesthetic basically, he showed me an immediate after and I got nervous straight away after seeing just a change in shape but not in how wide nostrils looked, he said it would take time , so now im on week 3 with terrible scars that make me very conscious, although dr says they’ll be invisible with time , but right now I don’t even want to go anywhere and feel embarrassed.
I really hope they get better , for the change I wanted I know now it’s not going to happen although I see a very light improvement maybe of a 15% , so im left with this scars hoping they’ll be unnoticeable soon but depressed

which doctor did you use? I am worried about doing anything already so I look at reviews on bad jobs, so I can find decent doctor. I hope you will feel better soon. Thank you

It’s a doctor in mexico , he is a very good surgeon , this is more about the actual place of the scars , I’ve been very conscious of them even now after 8 weeks , they are improving yes , and the nose has a very subtle change yes , but I think this months have been aweful , with day light I feel the scars look aweful , and scars get at their worst in week 6-8 so I still have a few months to wait

The doctor is actually very conservative so I’m something like this kind of surgery less is better than more , but after these weeks I think the mm removed were right , more would’ve looked weird since the nose changes a bit in shape and gets a bit pinched

How is the scarring now?

Based on our Nasal Anatomy, if you gotten more removed, the tip would look so awkward. The surgeon did good.
