What Happens to the Skin Elasticity After an Open Rhinoplasty Dorsal Hump Removal?

Run silent in Md
Hello, I'm scheduled to have an open Rhinoplasty next week. I will be having the hump removed which just now led me to wonder what will happen to that extra skin? I just turned 46 and I'm aleeady tarting to notice those "Parentheses lines" so is the extra skin going to drape down and make the lines look even worse? I figure at my age my skin elasticity or rather lack of may work against me. Thank you for your time. Andrea
