How difficult is it to widen the inner canthal area?

RevisionDoneFeb 22, 2014
My doctor fractured my nose and made the entire thing narrower which was not something I wanted! Id like permanet widening of the entire nose but also the inner canthal area (between eyes). I ask for this specifically because I cannot find pictures of this procedure and I imagine it is more difficult to widen the area than it is to narrow it. Id like to know if there is a way to do it without fillers. My eyes look strange because of this surgery I am very depressed with the results!
