Is it possible to make the alar rim thinner? (photos)

Asked By:fujitsu3479 in Redlands, CA

I want to have the walls of my nostrils thinned and the supra alar crease lowered. My alars are too thick and tall. I have had two rinoplasties done, in 2009 and in 2011. I would also like to bring my tip down because after the second Surgury I feel that it is turned up too much.
