These are photos from the day of surgery.. I had it done with a 4 mm external incision. During the consultation, I said: 1. No pinched nose 2. I want alar base reduction with the nasal ala slightly lifted That is what I told them, but other clinics were the same, and this clinic was too. They said the ratio between my nasal ala and columella was well balanced, so they did not recommend an alar lift.. So I only had alar base reduction, but is it because of swelling that the nasal ala looks even lower? Maybe the philtrum-area tissue inside the nostrils? has gathered together and swollen, making it look even more like that. I wanted the columella to come down more so the nasal tip would look more defined and prominent, but it feels like my nose looks more upturned sob sob They say it can feel pinched until day 3 and that it will look natural once the stitches are removed, but I’m confused... If it keeps going like this, I guess I’ll have to go get an alar lift, right?
