Thick skin - will I benefit from a rhinoplasty ?

Question

Hello, I really want a primary rhinoplasty. I’ve wanted a ski slopeand a thinner bridge for such a long time. Today I sent my photos to a surgeon who said I wouldn’t get a good result because my skin is too thick.

Simply sending photographs may be inadequate to determine candidacy for rhinoplasty. We believe it's helpful to keep your rhinoplasty specialist close to home. In that regard, please consider meeting with several reputable rhinoplasty specialist who offer computer imaging so you could see what might be best for you moving forward. I hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

Hello! Thank you for your question.
As far as I can understand from your question thick skin may take 1 to 1.5 years to heal compared to thin and normal skin.When you choose the right surgeon, it is possible to achieve the desired result with a single operation.
It would be better face to face consultation.
Best regards!

Your skin does not appear to be that thick.  However, the nose can be defatted if there is fat below.  You would benefit from tip refinement.  You would benefit from a rhinoplasty.

Best Wishes,

Hi the level of results depends on: previous rhinoplasty, quality of nasal skin and cartilages , realistic expectations and the skills of the surgeon. It is better for you to consult with a facial plastic surgeon who can examine you and discuss the surgical procedure and the post op recovery 
process.

Rhinoplasty surgery is pretty complex, and most plastic surgeons will tell you it is one of the harder procedures to master.
For that reason provider selection is really important.
From your pictures, I think your nose is proportionate, balanced, and attractive.
I see no strong indication of having a rhinoplasty, but it’s a free world and people can do what they want.
I generally do not recommend people have virtual consultation whenever possible.
 Instead, I recommend patient schedule in person consultations with plastic surgeons in their community.
I generally do not recommend people travel along distances for elective surgical procedures.
For rhinoplasty procedures, look for plastic surgeons, who have at least one to two decades of experience. Ideally look for plastic surgeons of focused exclusively on this procedure, or those who have a high percentage of rhinoplasty surgery as part of their practice.
During each consultation, ask each provider to open up their portfolio and show you their entire collection of before, and after pictures of previous patients who had similar facial characteristics to your own.
An experienced plastic surgeon should have no difficulty showing you the before and after pictures of at least 50 previous patients.
 Being shown a handful of pre-selected images, representing only the best results of a providers career may be insufficient to get a clear understanding of what average results look like in the hands of each provider, what your results are likely to look like or how many of these procedures they’ve actually done.
There’s no correct number of consultations needed to find the right provider. The more consultations you scheduled the more likely are to find the better provider.
The biggest mistake patients make is scheduling only one consultation which more or less eliminates the ability to choose the better provider.
 on a different note if you get lip, fillers done, you may want to consider slightly less emphasis on your upper lip.
I don’t mean to ruffle feathers, but your lips have a bit of a treated look. The great majority of people regardless of ethnic background have a lower lip that’s larger than the upper lip.
Maintaining a natural lip volume ratio could potentially be an improvement.
