Hi I had a rhinoplasty consultation today and was told that I have thick skin. Should I have a second consultation? Is rhinoplasty impossible on thick skin like mine?

Answer: Best Rhinoplasty in thick Skinned Patient Hi M, Rhinoplasty can be performed in thick skinned patients. We always recommend that patients get a few consultations before deciding on their rhinoplasty surgeon, as that choice is the most important aspect of your surgery. An expert rhinoplasty surgeon can work with thick skin. I suggest consultation with Ari Hyman, MD who is extremely well trained, skilled, experienced, and has natural artistic vision. Good luck and be well. Michael Persky, MD Encino, CA

Answer: Rhinoplasty Thank you for your question. All skin types can get an improvement with rhinoplasty. I think it is one of the most beautifying surgeries that we do as plastic surgeons. It is important to only see plastic surgeons with extensive experience in rhinoplasty, ie perform at least 6 per month and have performed hundreds of cases. Also, critically evaluate their on-line galleries to see if their art form resonates with yours. Rhinoplasty is definitely a grey haired plastic surgeon's sport. Best wishes to you.
