How to lift up the alar base and alar facial groove? After healing from an alarplasty my nose looks longer.

I had an open rhino with lip lift then later, alarplasty. After healing my nose looks longer. My alar lobules & nasal sill pull downward. My alar facial groove sits lower. Can I lift my base & alar facial groove back up? My doctor says cinch sutures can be used (to narrow) but also lift. I tried to research cinch sutures & alar base lifting but find it difficult to understand. How/can this be done, are cinch sutures like suspension sutures? Can they lift and anchor onto a part of the face? Thx!
