Should my surgeon have told me he was performing an alarplasty technique during my rhinoplasty?

Hi, I'm hoping to find out if this was a normal situation or if my surgeon was in the wrong. I had a rhinoplasty surgery which has unfortunately resulted in deformities, the main one being a retracted columella. Upon research, I discovered this could be the result of a failed alarplasty. I did not realise I had this done and when asked my surgeon confirmed he did perform alarplasty to reduce width. Is alarplasty a standard technique or should my surgeon have told me during the consult?
