Bulbous nose tip surgery at 58 years of age with thick skin - Any advice?

February 5, 2019
Asked By:Shebacat58 in Roxborough, County Galway, Ireland

I have thick skin and a bulbous nose tip and have been making enquiries for a nasal tip rhinoplasty procedure abroad. I have sent photos and have been accepted as suitable but also have been informed by two different clinics that due to my age skin I am unsuitable for corrective surgery. I am disappointed but am apprehensive about going ahead now. Any advice would be appreciated.
