Is it possible to get wider upper nose bone with agumenting cartilage graft on sides of the nose?

SurvivingTbotchSep 12, 2016
Do spreader grafts (2) help widen the side walls that have collapsed also (3)? How difficult this kind of nose job is? I would only need volume after plastic surgeon did a rhinoplasty to me without a permission and I wish to restore my old nose. Please help me, so that I can continue with my life without seeing this pencil thin nose from the mirror.
