None of them are easy
Any experienced rhinoplasty surgeon will likely tell you that there are none of them are easy surgeries. That said, some are more difficult than others. It is difficult to tell where you fall in this spectrum without more pictures or examining you. It also depends on what your expectations are. Given your skin thickness, if you just want some narrowing and a little reshaping, this is obviously more achievable than a very well-defined, chiseled tip, for example. ...

Rhinoplasty for thick skin
Based on your front photo it appears that you have thick skin which limits the amount of refinement that is possible

Hard noses are big noses with thick skin
Yes, you are a hard nose. Go see Dr. Sabbagh because he has probably done a lot of mediteranian noses like yours. Remember the issue isn't the result, it is the expectation. If you are realistic you will be happy.

Is the nose hard to do?
I love rhinoplasty surgery. But I wil ltell you that even though my concentraion level is very high for all surgeries, it is even higher during rhinoplasty. I find that a rhinoplasty is like a house of cards. Each step if not executed precisely can cause the entire house of cards to collapse. But with that said, most primary nasal surgery is not difficult. RhinoplIt also depends upon what you want to have done.

Individualize each nose
There are specific issues with your nose that need to be considered, especially the thick skin. Every nose is different and challenging, so research your surgeon. Examine websites. Look at the technical explanations and before and after photographs. Information like this is on my website, for instance. Good luck.

Yes your nose would be a difficult Rhinoplasty
I have performed Rhinoplasty and Revision Rhinoplasty, for over 20 years and yes, from the pictures your nose looks like it would be a more difficult, than normal Rhinoplasty. IMHO, this is based upon the thick amorphous structure of the nasal tip, combined with thick skin and relativel wide nasal bones, upper lateral cartilages (mid nasal section) and supra-tip. There is a c-shape nasal deviation to the right as well. Sorry but I have not heard of either of the surgeons...

Rhinoplasty never easy
Rhinoplasty is a very exacting operation. Each patient presents a unique set of challenges. You have only provided one picture, which makes it difficult to say definitively what your unique challenges are. From that picture I can see that you appear to have thick skin. This is both good and bad. Good because any imperfections in the underling bone and cartilage will be better hidden, bad because it is difficult to create a well-sculpted tip. It also appears that...

The problem is your skin and lack of definition of the tip. Yes I think achieving a good result will be a challenge.

Hard rhinoplasty
Few surgeons will call any rhinoplasty easy. No matter what you do there is always an unpredictable element to healing. You appear to have a wide broad tip and lower nose. I can't say anything about your profile. It's also hard to know if your nose is the way it is because of very thick skin or overly large cartilages. These are the factors that will determine your result. You also haven't mentioned your expectations. If you are looking for a small delicate nose it's...

Rhinoplasty surgery is a delicate procedure
As you probably know, Rhinoplasty surgery is a delicate procedure. Results may include narrowing base, smoothing out a hump, refining the tip, lifting up the tip, narrowing the center of nose. Patients must be realistic about how much should be done and still preserve the most important function - breathing. That being said, small modifications do create a change, so patients need to be ready for seeing themselves with that change.

Is your rhinoplasty difficult?
All rhinoplasties are technically sensitive procedures. Experienced surgeons, however, are able to master the techniques. The feature that makes your nose more difficult is the thick appearing skin on the tip. If will be tough to make it more defined. If that is not your goal, then don't worry.

Rhinoplasty as a hard procedure
The technical aspects of rhinoplasty are not particularly hard, and some noses are not harder than others. The difficulty with rhinoplasty is understanding the proper aesthetics and form, and understanding the limitation of skin type and ethnicity. Not all patients like the same things, and not all surgeons agree for that matter. Be careful in your search for a surgeon, and we find computer imaging an important tool in sorting out what might be right for you.
Best of luck...

Difficult nose
Most cosmetic surgeons consider rhinoplasty to be the most difficult of all procedures Not only is the operation difficult and demanding but the correct diagnosis before surgery is critical. Every nose is different and must be approached differently. I do not know either surgeon.

Is Your Nose a Hard Procedure?
Some noses are a bit more complicated than others although I do not feel any primary Rhinoplasties are "hard or difficult" The experienced surgeon knows what to do and goes into surgery with a game plan that wll create improvement in the appearance of your nose. You appear to have thick skin involving the nasal tip so that it may be longer before the final result is apparent ie up to 12 months.... so be very patient.

Rhinoplasty In The Thick-Skinned Patient
The biggest issue with your rhinoplasty is not whether it is hard or not but with the thickness of skin that you have. This means two important things. First, you are never going to have as thin or as well shaped nose as you would like. Your skin thickness will prevent it from happening regardless of how the underlying framework is sculpted. It is important, therefore, for you to have realistic expectations with what a rhinoplasty can achieve. Secondly, you are going to have a lot of tip...
