Would a graft help widen my nose after an alarplasty?

October 27, 2022
Asked By:writerbae in Union, New Jersey

I had an alarplasty that was overdone. 5mm was removed from each side (I think alar wall was removed as well). I feel that my nostrils and the bottom portion of my nose are now too small and look unnatural/pinched compared to how it used to look. Is it possible to widen my nose, by atleast 3mm on each side? First pictures are my new nose, last pictures are before.
