Would my Nose Become Permanently Weak After Undergoing an Osteotomy Procedure?

bhatt.chaitanya
I am considering to go under the knife and a doctor suggested osteotomy procedure to narrow my nasal bone, but I am a basketball player and I am prone to getting hurt on my face and body. Would an osteotomy procedure on my nose make my nose more vulnerable to fractures in the future?
