I plan on having a 3rd revision rhinoplasty to remove an implant & excess bulky scar tissue in the tip. A surgeon suggested alar base reductions to narrow a bulbous, heavy tip. What are the drawbacks for this in thick skin? I have rounded features & am worried about anything that will lead to what I hope to undo w/surgery 3--a bulky, unnaturally overprojected tip. What are the dangers of alar base reduction, other than keloid scarring? Can is lead to nasal collapse or pinching?
