How much can nasal skin stretch?

searchingforanswers
I have a naturally short nose and I want to get it lengthened. How much more size could my nasal skin accommodate? I want to lengthen my nose as much as possible. In normal nose development what is it exactly that causes the nasal skin to grow along with the underlying structure? Why is there a limit in surgery to how much longer a nose can be made? Can't the nasal skin be artificially stretched out somehow?
