Nose is wide and bulbous after rhinoplasty - would it be difficult to fix it and make my nose thinner? (photos)

The very nicely posted photos demonstrate a rotated cartilage graft or cartilage lower medial alar cartilage. Easiest to try HA filler injections done ONLY by the surgeon or another expert surgeon who injects! Otherwise only additional tip surgery with cartilage diced grafting can improve. Good...
