I have many issues with my nose. From the front, my nose is wide, crooked and has a very bulbous tip. From the profile it is large, with a slight hump and there isn't as much angular definition between my nose and forehead as I would like. I also have thick, middle eastern skin. Can rhinoplasty address most of my problems or would I have to focus on 1 or 2 problems? I know the thickness of my skin would be a limitation to my results and a septoplasty is a priority to fix my breathing problems
Answer: RHINOPLASTY NJ There is great opportunity for this nose for a successful outcome! You seem to have thicker skin -- reducing the small dorsal hump on the bridge, rotating the tip up a little, deprojecting the nose somewhat, and thinning the tip to add refinement would be recommended.It is unlikely that your nose could be made extremely thin because of the limitations of your skin, but excessively pinched looking noses are not desirable anyway.Best of luck!

Answer: #rhinoplasty Hi. Your skin looks to be of medium thickness. I have had many patients with skin such as yours and you can still get very good results. You would need a radix and dorsal hump reduction with tip refinement and likely a nasal tip graft. A septoplasty can be performed in the same operation. You have lots of opinions now so it is best to pick your experienced surgeon and have a consultation. Good Luck.RegardsDamien

Answer: Thick skin rhinoplasty While think skin does mask results somewhat, thick skin patients can usually accomplish their goals and obtain excellent results. Several different techniques are used in patients with thick skin. These include defatting the tip, adding firm structural support and adding tip grafts. All nasal concerns can usually be addressed during the same surgical procedure.

Answer: Thick skin? Hi there. Thanks for the question and defining the issues so well.There is nothing that you present that can't be improved, particularly dorsum, septum, breathing, tip projection. Standard open rhinoplasty will address all of this in experienced hands.Thick skin means that some of the relationships need to be exaggerated a little, and definition will be a little disguised, but you sound realistic and need to speak to an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon.I hope this helps.

Answer: Rhinoplasty Rhinoplasty would work well to address your hump, to a lesser extent width and bulbous tip correction. Your thick skin will have some limitations on the end result.
