Skin elasticity in older patients (47) - is reductive rhinoplasty possible?

Reliable924192
I’m 47 in great health. Will my skin shrink around the new nose after reductive rhinoplasty???? My concern is that I don’t want to reduce too much and end up with excess scar tissue and possible deformity. I have been told that I have “thicker skin” but not thick. The surgeon (highly reputable) I consulted with is proposing quite a change.
