I'm in my late 50s and am interested in rhinoplasty. I have been told that because my skin is so thin at the bridge I need to find a top doctor who specializes/only performs this surgery. Admittedly the skin is very thin. I haven't had luck finding this kind of doctor. Advice? Am I no longer a candidate for this surgery?
Answer: Rhinoplasty Thank you for your question. You are an excellent candidate for rhinoplasty. I think it is one of the most beautifying surgeries that we do as plastic surgeons. A large portion of my practice is dedicated to rhinoplasty surgery. Although your skin is on the more thin side, it is not excessively thin. I have operated on many patients who have much thinner skin then yourself. You should be able to have an excellent result after rhinoplasty. it is important to only see plastic surgeons with extensive experience in rhinoplasty, ie perform at least 6 per month and have performed hundreds of cases. Also, critically evaluate on-line galleries to see if their art form resonates with yours. Rhinoplasty is definitely a grey haired plastic surgeon's sport. Best wishes to you.

Answer: I Recommend Septorhinoplasty | Plastic Surgery | Rhinoplasty Expert | Nose Job | Bulbous Tip | Bridge | Thin Skin | Septoplasty Hello and thank you for your question and the pictures. Addressing the shape of the nose (particularly the nasal tip) is actually one of the most common reasons people seek out and undergo a rhinoplasty. There are actually certain techniques which can be performed in patients with thin skin to soften the appearance of the underlying structures- but most surgeons don't even know they exist. An open septorhinoplasty can best address your nose, and is particularly effective at addressing the size, shape, and definition!

Answer: Rhinoplasty for thin skinned patients With thin skinned patients, extremely meticulous surgical technique must be used to prevent asymettrical results. On the other hand, patients with thin skin heal much faster than the thick skinned ones which is a huge benefit while recovering.

Answer: Too old, too thin? Naah, you're skin looks fine to me. More... Of course I haven't had the chance to feel your skin, but your photos show a nose that looks like average less-thick-than-a-teenager's skin, and lots of adults have this operation. You also seem to be a very good candidate because you have features that are, in expert hands, usually rather predictable to improve: the bump on the bridge, but also the length of the nose and the prominence of the tip.
