Does performing alar base reduction on its own reduce height of the nose?

tanzmoon
I'm curious, does performing alar base reduction on its own can reduce height of the nose? (That is nose height from skin to outward of your face, how to explain- basically the height you see from your profile). Hope I'm making sense. Would it cause your straight side profile to become not straight anymore? Also does alarplasty on its own cause tip to become bulbous? Thanks.
