Do I have thin, moderate or thick skin on my nose? (Photos)

I think I have thick skin, but wanted to post images here to see if any doctors have a rough idea of what my skin type may be. I am considering having rhinoplasty done but my main concern is a large and droopy/bulbous tip, and I'm worried that if my skin is too thick then rhinoplasty wont be as effective and I'm hoping. The final picture is my desired nose. What do you think?

Either an open or closed rhinoplasty is acceptable. ( I do closed) with the size of your dorsal kimono can’t imagine performing your rhinoplasty without osteotomies. Osteotomies are not really that big a deal and I really believe you need them done

If you are unhappy with the shape or projection of your nose, rhinoplasty can be an effective solution. Rhinoplasty does not worsen nasolabial folds, but it also does not correct them. If your main concern is the prominence of the nasolabial folds, an endoscopic midface lift may provide a more...

It would be easy to remove most of the freshly injected fat using a small cannula. There is no need for rhinoplasty to achieve that. Good luck.

I would be highly cautious about a surgeon with one before and after photo that is at only at 10 weeks. Rhinoplasty results should show a minimum of at least 12 months follow up, ideally 24 months (especially in revisionary cases). If things do not feel right, usually things are not right. Trust...

I am truly sorry to hear that story. I am glad you are in a better place. Most likely there are multiple fractures in the septal cartilage. The cartilage is quite easy to break. Given multiple trauma I would suggest total septal reconstruction with rib cartilage. This can more or less guarantee...
