Possible to have an alar crease reduction?

December 10, 2018
Asked By:samieee in London, GB

Hi, I have a very deep and distinct alar crease, specially visible from the profile. Is it possible to get this "removed" or totally reduced in visibility during a rhinoplasty? One surgeon mentioned this is not possible to "change" this as it's genetics. Is this correct? Thanks in advance!
