Reasons for readjusting splayed lower lateral cartilages?

Nasty Nose Illinois
During my primary rhinoplasty (open approach), my surgeon, according to my operative report, had "proceeded to also elevate the (nose) tip to to bring splayed lower lateral cartilages into a more central position". Why would this have been done on a non cleft nose, and how would this affect the nose tip position in relation to the overall nose on a crooked nose?
