Hi, i consulted with a doctor regarding revision rhinoplasty and he told me he would perform a small incision on the outside of my nose for the osteotomies. He said this will make my nose narrower. However, i am concerned about the scarring and the close proximity to my eyes. Will this technique affect my eyes and in what circumstances is this technique used?
