Is this type of alarplasty performed in the US? (Photo)

Jubilant732138
I have alar overhang which blocks the view of my nostrils from the sides, I want a surgery to have them lifted. But I have only found base-reduction alarplasty, which is not what I want. I've found info on this surgery being performed in the Philippines since this type of nose is more common there. I am a white woman and have not seen anyone else with a nose like mine here, but I'm wary about traveling to get a surgery there is minimal info on. Is this performed in the US?
