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.

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.

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.

Big Nose and Thick Skin
Hi,
A big nose and thick skin are not synonymous. Big noses can have thin skin with large nasal bones and large cartilage. A small nose can have thick skin making the tip of your nose bulbous and fat.
Best,
Dr.S.
