Hi, I'm currently 1 year and 4 months post op rhinoplasty. Sometimes I will wake up with my face pressed into the pillow, I understand everything is fully set in place by now but can accidentally smushing it around into the pillow while I sleep do any damage? I'm usually pretty good about sleeping on my back but sometimes when I sleep on my side I still get super worried and I'm scared I could accidentally put too much pressure on it while I sleep and "break" it. Thanks!

No, alar base reduction simply narrows in nostrils, that's it. The incision is placed right at the nostril sill. It's impossible to raise or lower the insertion of the nostril rim.
Depending on your examination, these indentations may be filled. An examination would be necessary to determine your candidacy for such a treatment. Hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr. Joseph
