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?

Answer: If I have thick nasal skin, can I still get rhinoplasty? Patients with thick nasal skin have great results from rhinoplasty all the time. The key is to find a surgeon that will give you a good outcome with a nose that is harmonious with the rest of your face and fits who you are. The parts of the nose have to fit each other and have too fit your face. Look for expereinced and well trained surgeons. see more than one consult and make a well informed decision.

Answer: Rhinoplasty for drooping and bulbous tip with thick skin Thick skin can impede a very refined result on the tip of the nose. It's important to have realistic expectations about what can and cannot be accomplished with the rhinoplasty procedure. Thick skinned individuals usually require some cortisone shots in tip of the nose to prevent swelling from occurring In the postoperative few months after the surgery. The bulbous tip is addressed with suture techniques applied to the lower lateral cartilages of the tip. For many examples and more information, please see the video and the link below
