Does Big Nose Indicate There is Thick Skin?

A person can have a big nose with or without thick skin. When evaluating a patient with a big nose for rhinoplasty surgery it is better to have large cartilages and bones which can be reduced rather than thick skin. It is much more difficult to achieve an excellent result with good definition when the patient has thick skin regardless of nasal size.

Nose size is unrelated to skin thickness

The big nose is usually related to greater cartilage and bone structure of the nose, not skin type. Patients with large noses can have thick or thin skin.

Big nose mean thick skin?

A big nose does not necessarily mean thick skin. A long or large nose is often due to the underlying bony and cartilaginous structures.
