I was planning on having rhinoplasty and genioplasty, but I am quite worried that my skin's somewhat unusual elasticity will make me a poor candidate. My skin stretches far more than is normal at least on my neck (I presume it is like this on my face too). It also tends to get cut very easily although I don't form scars any more than usual I don't think. Am I a poor candidate because of this elasticity? I do not have Ehlers-Danlos syndrome to the best of my knowledge (I have no other symptoms).
