Can spreader grafts actually obstruct breathing in rhinoplasty?

Can't spreader grafts block airflow in the same way fallen upper lateral cartilage does, if they are cut too thick or put in the wrong place? What if nasal valve collapse emerges after a hump removal, indicating the problem is not narrowness, but loss of support/height? #spreader grafts #breathing #obstruction #rhinoplasty #upper lateral cartilage
