Later this month I will have a rhinoplasty basically to make my nose less projected. My Doctor mentioned that since the skin on my nose is quite thin and my nose bridge is quite narrow, he would remove some subcutaneous tissue from the area behind my ear (under my hair) and would put that on my the bridge of my nose during surgery. I understand that otherwise it is possible that the bone structure will be too visible after surgery. Is that a common method to deal with thin skin/narrow bridge?

Answer: Temporalis fascia from your head may be considered for laying on your bridge during rhinoplasty surgery.
