Can laser resurfacing reduce the thickness of skin on the tip of nose for refinement? (photos)

Asked By:Kkeech07 in Knoxville, TN

I am considering a revision rhinoplasty after my initial surgery three years ago. I love the natural result but feel the tip is too bulbous. I would like some minor refinement in the tip. I went back to my surgeon and he informed me that he took as much cartilage out as possible and he didn't want to compromise the integrity of my nose with revision. He suggested laser resurfacing to refine the tip and reduce the thickness of the skin, which is what I find undesirable. Can this work effectively?
