I understand that thin skinned patients have better results with nose reshaping/size changes. What factors impact the amount of impact/change that can be achieved in medium thick skinned patients? I am going for an overall size reduction (thinning of bone, tip and nostrils). I have a really large nose and am hoping to have subtle but meaningful impact.

Answer: Rhinoplasty Without pictures it’s hard to tell how thick your skin is or what changes would work for your nose. But even with thicker skin you can still get a nice result from rhinoplasty. The key is selecting the right surgeon

Answer: Thick skin and rhinoplasty: Thick skin and rhinoplasty: thick skin mainly effects the outcome of the tip after rhinoplasty. The impact is much less on other aspects of a large nose, such as a dorsal hump, excessively long nose, and over projecting nose, A wide bridge, etc. There is usually still an improvement in the tip area but the end result will not be as “pointy“ as in a person with thin skin. The result is softer with less angular features showing in the tip area. This is not necessarily a negative feature. People whose skin is too thin may have too much definition in the tip and it may be too “pointy“. The best tips come when there is an ideal balance between the thickness of the skin and the strength of the underlying cartilage.
