Hey there, I have very thick and oily skin. my nose is too wide. Is there anything that can be done? I have seen few similar noses that didn't improved after a rhinoplastic surgery due to thick skin.. is there any hope? What do you think? Thanks!
Answer: Big nose, thick and oily skin, bulbous tip. Any hope? When patients have thick and oily skin, it is important to have realistic expectations on what can and cannot be accomplished with a rhinoplasty procedure. The bulbous tip can be reduced with suture techniques and a conservative cartilage removal. The dorsal hump can be shaved down. Osteotomies placed in the nasal bones can accomplish narrowing of the bridge line. An alar-plasty can accomplish narrowing wide nostrils. For more information and many before and after results of rhinoplasty, please see the video and the link below

Answer: Thick skin & Rhinoplasty Thick skin can make a rhinoplasty more difficult, but that does not mean that the surgery wouldn't improve your appearance. The important thing is for you to have reasonable expectations. I would suggest that you schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area who can assess you in person and with whom you can then have a honest conversation about exactly what your rhinoplasty would achieve. Kindly,Kouros Azar

Answer: Rhinoplasty Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photograph, you may benefit from a tip refining rhinoplasty. Your surgeon can accomplish this by trimming, suturing, and reshaping the cartilage in your lower nose. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and not just a computer animation system. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. Harvard-trained plastic surgeon

Answer: Correction of Thick, Bulbous Tip Nasal skin thickness definitely is a factor when correcting a bulbous tip. Patients with thick tip skin typically will not see the degree of tip refinement, other patients with normal skin thickness achieve. That being said, tip refinement in patients with thick tip skin can still be achieved with rhinoplasty. Tip sutures, cartilage grafting, and tip defatting are just some techniques which will help to reduce a bulbous tip. The key is that patient have more conservative expectations. I suggest you follow up with a surgeon specializing in rhinoplasty surgery for a consultation. I have provided a link below. Good Luck!
