Before <1 year after surgery> After <4 years after surgery> It seems that once a nose has had contracture, no matter how much it is projected with donated costal cartilage, over time the nose lifts again and contracts. The hospital where I had surgery says there are no signs of inflammation or contracture, but my nose is gradually lifting and getting shorter, and my nostrils have started to show.
I am currently on day 10 after alar lifting + nostril lowering (dermis) surgery (recovering).
