Why don't I often see drastic changes like this in Rhinoplasty 'before and after's? (photo)

Is it possible to go from having a wide, flared, obtuse alar base with a bulbous tip to thin, more projected, acute looking features? Is this not often seen because most patients desire more subtle changes or are there great difficulties/limitations in accomplishing this? Is this type of transition, for the sake of someone desiring to change their identity with no regard for subtlety, feasible? Would you elucidate the challenges involved in achieving implementation and how they can be managed?
