You may also be describing what's called "alar retraction or alar notching". I correct this with a small triangular piece of ear cartilage with skin attached which when properly placed...acts to lower the edge of the nostrils. Of course, without seeing pictures, I can't be certain which...or both...of these conditions exist in your particular case. You may want to send us jpeg pics for further review at drfpaler1@aol.com Now, if you indeed are a candidate for either of these procedures as a Revision Rhinoplasty it would be a minimum of 6 months from the last Rhinoplasty and would depend on the condition of your nasal skin and my determination (or any experienced plastic and cosmetic surgeon with Revision Rhinoplasty expertise) whether or not your tissues could undergo another Rhinoplasty. The correction of alar notching or alar retraction is a much less invasive procedure and would typically be able to be performed at 6 months post-op. Dr. Francis R Palmer, III Hey Nicole,

Can you tell me if i can do this 6 months after surger? how important is it that i wait at least 1 year to do this? Nicole Dr Palmer,
