Ratio of Reduction Per Nostril for Alarplasty?

hyannis
In an alarplasty, if the width of the wedge removed is 2 mm per nostril, does that mean that the width of the nose will be reduced by 4mm in total? Is the relationship 1:1 or is there a variation due to geometry? Roughly how many mm's are typically remove per nostril for 66% of your patients?
