Would an Alar Base Reduction Be Complicated for Me?

jazzyneda
Alar base reduction seems to be a simple procedure as its done under local anesthesia. I have an "Asian nose":small tip and bridge but wide nostrils. My ent said I have a deviated septum but I dont plan on fixing this because I believe my breathing problems are more related to having pectus excavatum Is an alar reduction complicated,what are the risks? Thank you for your time.
