Will Alar Rim Grafts Make my Nostril Sidewalls (Which Are Very Thick) Look Thinner?

Asked By:elise1984 in Cleveland, OH

I have thick nostrils that I feel make my nose look too wide towards the bottom--(I have already had a too-aggressive nostril reduction(incisions were made in alar creases around nostrils) but my nostril sidewalls still are too tall,and wide and spread too widely when I smile---will alar grafts prevent the flaring when I smile? are there any other procedures to bring the nostril sidewalls in medially towards the dorsum? cinch or v-y advancement?
