Is there a structural danger when overdoing alarplasty?

July 1, 2015
Asked By:aperg in Ukiah, CA

It seems 5 or 6 mm is the max that can be removed at any one time. Why is this so? Apart from possibly looking aesthetically unnatural, is there structural danger to removing too much of the alar base? What if you do a second alarplasty? Thank you!
