Can a surgeon make my nose thinner during nasal valve repair so that my nose doesn't get any wider from the grafts?

Asked By:Reserved3834 in Watertown, Connecticut

I (63F) need nasal valve repair with grafts, and septoplasty for an s shaped septum. I already have a moderately wide nose with thick skin and Im concerned that adding a graft will make my nose look even wider. Can it be made thinner during surgery while the grafts are being placed?
