Fix for functional issues and notching? (Photo)

Dynamic528330May 17, 2024

Hello, I have several issues with my nose after a primary rhinoplasty. First, my nasal valves have collapsed. What is the fix for these and can it be done in a closed procedure? Second, I have severe alar notching. What can be done to fix this issue?
