Rhinoplasty is possible despite the large pores in your nasal skin
Rhinoplasty is possible despite the large pores in your nasal skin. I have not come across this concern before. If your large pores result from rhinophyma the treatment is aimed at your nasal skin rather than the structure underneath your nasal skin. If what you're describing is simply porous nasal skin this should not deter an experienced surgeon. From a cosmetic perspective, thick, heavy porous nasal skin can limit the cosmetic result that can be expected because all of the reshaping and...

Skin Thickness and Rhinoplasty
Large pores are usually seen in people with thicker skin. Having large pores is not a contraindication to surgery in and of itself.

Large Pores and Rhinoplasty
Large pores should not hinder your Rhinoplasty procedure. Large pores can be indicative of thicker skin, which may, in some patients limit your end result. There are topical and clinical treatments that can be used in conjunction with your rhinoplasty procedure to reduce the appearance of large pores and help you achieve your desired end result. It is always best to come in for a consultation to address your aesthetic concerns.

Rhinoplasty in Patient with Large Skin Pores
Large skin pores will not impact your rhinoplasty result unless you have thick skin which can affect the length of healing and the final result. It is common to have skin irritation and eruptions after a rhinoplasty, so we have patients like you see our aesthetician in the office before surgery.

Skin Pore Size and Rhinoplasty
The size of your skin pores has no adverse effect on having a rhinoplasty. That is a concern I have never heard before nor would it make any biologic sense. Large pores suggest that one's skin is thicker, however, and this will affect how refined the results of a rhinoplasty will appear and how much and long swelling may persist after surgery.

Rhinoplasty and Large Pores of the nose
You are perfectly fine to have a rhinoplasty, even if you have large pores of the skin of the nose. The pores are not likely to get smaller as a result of the rhinoplasty and occasionally may become more noticeable as the skin heals. There are other options, such as laser resurfacing for reducing nasal skin pore size. However, the rhinoplasty will improve the shape of your nose.
