Is it possible to rebuild the side walls of the nose? The doctor shaved it too much. It should be wider, 1mm each side (Photo)

Asked By:Appreciate_Yourself in Miami, FL

You can see on the photo before and after. Doctor shaved cut out from the sides of the walls I think about 1mm on each side is missing, can this be rebuilt back? Or spread with spreader grafts or somehow fixed? I'm going crazy and loosing my hope that this can be ever fixed. I know the bridge can be augmented - from over resected scooped nose back to the hump. But what about the sides of the nose ? :-(
