Rhinoplasty with thin skin? (Photo)

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.
My suggestion to you is to do your research well before choosing your surgeon. Make sure he or she has extensive experience in rhinoplasty. Best of luck to you.

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.

ow *much* to elevate or narrow the tip, or lower the bump, or make other changes? We figure that out with morphs, well before surgery. I'd love for you to see some excellent professionally-designed morphs of what could possibly be done with your nose. Morphs could also help you identify better just what's bothering you, and help you set a goal for the rhinoplasty that's accurate for your tastes. Profile and three-quarter views would be particularly important in morphing your nose. (Side note: in my opinion, morphs should really be done by the surgeon, or he should direct an assistant as she makes the morphs. Morphs should be made with a constant eye to what actually *can* be done in surgery, for that particular nose, and the surgeon has that information and judgment best.)

Finally, remember that rhinoplasty is an exquisitely difficult operation to get right, and you should only have surgery if you are able to make yourself very confident in your surgeon's skills. The changes that your nose needs -- particularly the tip work -- require advanced techniques, and skill that most plastic surgeons don't possess with expertise. It's much better to not have surgery than to have inexpertly-performed surgery. Read my essay on how to stay out of trouble while selecting a rhinoplasty surgeon. And it also discusses how to take photos that are best for online evaluations.

Hi, as a general rule super thin or thick skin nose needs an expert rhinoplasty 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.
