Is it possible to widen my nose after an alar base reduction that made it too small? (photos)

Question

Had rhinoplasty to thin my nose I thought was too wide. I only wanted a small change but too much was taken so aesthetically it makes my nose look too small and pinched for my face. Also had tip smoothed down but it looks and feels like my tip is collapsing. Breathing is also obstruction and very forced. What are the options for fixing this problem? Thank you!!

Revision rhinoplasty for narrowing of nostrils etc. Yes this can be done as well as correcting the other asymmetries of the columella etc  See a very experienced revision rhinoplasty surgeon who can show you dozens of natural results

Yes, it is possible to widen a narrow nostril.  In addition to what you are describing, you also have asymmetry of the columella which further narrows one side.

Should I get alar base reduction by itself or with tip-plasty?
