Does the skin on your nose change after a rhinoplasty?

Hello,Thank you for your question. Related to the swelling after the surgery the skin becomes very oily, to avoid the blackheads and acne issues, in my practice, I recommend my patients to perform an intensive skin care to remove the excessive grease daily and they are allowed to wear makeup right after the cast removal.

Hey there,
That’s because of the swelling after the surgery. Depending on the nose structure and skin thickness it may take up to 1, 1.5 year until it goes away completely.

hello thank you for your question and provided information as well.. based in your question , everybody is different and the cases are differents is good if you talk directly with you plastic surgeon 

Hello and thank you for
your question.  Although the nose will swell, and your skin may appear to be a little thicker while swollen, especially during the initial postoperative period, your overall skin texture will not change after a rhinoplasty.  If you are considering rhinoplasty, be sure your surgeon addresses all your aesthetic goals
and concerns specifically, and discusses the surgery details including the
position and size of the incisions used (with actual photographs and not just
digital animations), the risks and benefits of the procedure, recovery time,
and post-operative course.  Also, be sure to see plenty of
before-and-after pictures in women who have a similar nose appearance to yours,
and preferably at different time frames (3 weeks out, 3 months out, etc) to
more accurately predict your own surgical outcome.  After seeking out a
board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in aesthetic plastic surgery, I
think the most important component of the consultation is to establish a good
connection with your plastic surgeon.  It’s the connection that allows you
to clearly define your desired nose outcome goals, the first step of this whole
process. If you don’t feel you have a good connection with your plastic surgeon
after your consultation, he/she may not be the best surgeon for you.

Hello. Great question. Right after rhinoplasty the nose may look abnormal due to a lot of swelling. It can take up to one year for all the swelling to go down. Skin texture should not change. Visit a board certified plastic surgeon for a detailed surgical plan to achieve your desired results.

We do not advise our patients to expect a change in their nasal skin after rhinoplasty surgery. Rhinoplasty dissection is very deep to the skin, right on the cartilage and bone of the nose. Insofar as color goes, patients with rosacea or facial and nasal redness may experience increased redness of the skin after surgery. In our experience, this tends to resolve spontaneously, or IPL treatments may be considered. Hope this helps. Dr Joseph

Rhinoplasty requires exceptional skill on behalf of the surgeon and great communication with the patient about realistic goals and expectations.
Common cosmetic concerns include a dorsal hump, wide nose, sunken nose, irregularities, and asymmetries. Functional concerns include difficulty breathing through the nose, which can and should be addressed at the same time as your rhinoplasty.
Make sure to seek out the care of a board certified surgeon with extensive experience in rhinoplasty. Find someone you connect with, who will listen to your concerns and provide you with a framework for what is possible.
Your question is interesting. In the overwhelming majority of cases, the nasal skin does not change after a rhinoplasty. However, if the skin envelope is manipulated many many times (numerous revisions), with improper technique, then the skin can lose some of its blood supply and appear to change color. This is very rare.

 The skin in the nose stays swollen for several months after the procedure, especially in the nasal tip.  Patients who have thick skin and the nasal tip have additional swelling that takes upwards of a year to subside.
