Is it possible to raise alar/nostril rim without adding length to the nose? (photos)

Asked By:Bright4840 in Phoenix, Arizona

Hello. I had rhinoplasty over 7 months ago. I am unhappy with it because of the lack of columellar show/ upturned nostril angle. However I don’t think that my nose should be lengthened. I think that the base of my nose looks too flat from all angles Is it possible to just raise the nostril rim / change the nostril angle without actually adding length to the nose?
