Hi I read from a Dr. answer on real self that his indian patients often "want their alar bases positioned lowered to match the columellar show, not just narrowed" - how is it doable to reposition alar base lower? what techniques would it be? I thought nostril flare & wide alars could be adjusted but I didn't know the alar base itself could be brought lower? I am indian and have higher positioned alar base/nostrils (can provide pics)
