When making a large nose smaller how exactly is that accomplished?

Asked By:Dan8595 in New Jersey, NJ

What happens to the excess skin? Does it just retract? If the goal is to make a man's nose smaller, can you describe in basic terms how that is accomplished? I was wondering where the excess skin goes. Do you actually remove the skin or does the skin "shrink?" If you think of a tent that is stretched out and you shorten the poles down, the tent will become deflated. How is that different for the structures inside the nose and the skin?
