I am unhappy because the insides of my nostrils are much larger and visible and unattractive now.

Question:
I am 27-years-old and had a rhinoplasty done a year ago. I am unhappy because the insides of my nostrils are much larger and visible and unattractive now. Will another rhinoplasty be able to fix this?

Answer:
This sounds like the ala, or nostril margins, were elevated after your rhinoplasty causing more nostril show than before. This is a significant problem, which may require revision surgery using cartilage grafts to lower the nostril edge. If the nose was shortened too much a similar look may occur.
