It's not that your skin doesn't attach, it's likely that you don't have enough cartilage structure to support your skin, nostrils and tip. In both primary and revison rhinoplasty the goal is creation of a stable supporting underlying structure which the skin can then conform to....
Hi,
Removing the anterior spine sounds a little drastic. You can achieve the desired result from shortening the Medial Crura of the Lower lateral cartilages and adjusting the dome and lateral crura of the lower lateral cartilages.
