Can A Nose Be Made Slimmer By Skin Excision?

Q: Dr. Eppley, Is it possible to remove potentially in the future around 2.5 mm of tissue around the nose to create a way slimmer nose that would create a more feminine/nose look how is the limit for tissue removed.

A: The only area of the nose will tissues can be externally excised is the nostrils or nasal base for nostril narrowing. But for the rest of the nose no such excisions can be performed without severe scarring.
