Nasal Tip Deprojection with Thick Skin (photo)

Hello! Thank you for your question.
As far as I can understand from your question.Having thick skin is not an obstacle for rhinoplasty, but the healing process may take 1.5 to 2 years depending on the thin and normal skin structure.
It would be better face to face consultation.
Best Regards!

Based on your photos, you appear to have medium thickness skin, which is some of the most favorable skin to operate on. I can see that you have an overprojected nasal profile appearance, and a tension lip deformity. Rhinoplasty surgery may be considered for achieving a less projected, less distracting, and more feminine nasal profile appearance. If you have any issues breathing, they could be addressed at the time of surgery as well. Please consider meeting with several specialists whose practices focus on rhinoplasty surgery. I hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Thank you for your inquiry and for sharing your photographs.

In a case like yours, deprojection of the nasal tip would typically require a corresponding reduction in the projection of the nasal bridge, along with a slight increase in the radix to maintain facial harmony. This adjustment can create a slightly elongated appearance of the nose in profile, which is why a degree of nasal tip shortening would also be necessary. While this shortening may subtly influence the contours seen from the front view, the nostril show can remain similar to the current appearance.

The extent of deprojection desired will influence the feasibility of achieving the ideal outcome. To facilitate a more productive assessment and provide tailored advice, I recommend a consultation incorporating computer imaging and simulation. This will allow you to define your goals more precisely and receive specific guidance on how the nasal tip’s soft tissue characteristics may affect the projected changes.

Overall, a certain degree of deprojection is likely achievable, and combining this with slight nasal tip shortening can create the overall impression of a smaller nasal pyramid.
