If I have thick nasal skin, can I still get rhinoplasty?

Asked By:Mp1847 in Maple Ridge, BC

I'm not sure if I have thick or thin nasal skin, but I have a bulbous/droopy tip and thats one of the main things I want to change about my nose, I heard that if you have thick nasal skin the tip will always be bigger after surgery. Is this true?
