Do I have thick nasal skin, medium, or thin? (Photo)

Question

I'm pretty sure my nose skin isn't thin... What thickness does it appear to you?

Eric M. Joseph, MD · Answer

I can tell that you have thin skin because your skin is white, and you do not appear to have an oily porous appearance to your nasal tip. Hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

Hello, It appears to be medium but thickness has to be judged in person by feel as well. Don't get hung up on knowing your own skin thickness. If you have a consultation with a good rhinoplasty surgeon, they will explain and show you the expected results, taking your skin thickness into account. Focus on finding a true rhinoplasty surgeon and one that explains all aspects of your specific nose, and what they believe needs to be changed to get the desired result. Good luck!

Your skin is somewhat thin but not too much. It’s actually ideal for someone planning to have a rhinoplasty

Hello! Thank you for your question. As far as I can understand from your question if you can provide photos with better lighting, from the side of your face and 1 meter away I would be able to make a proper evaluation. It would be more convenient to decide with face-to-face consultation. Best regards!

Your nasal skin appears to be of normal thickness.
I’m not sure why you are concerned about the thickness of your nasal skin. If you’re contemplating rhinoplasty surgery, then I suggest having a few in person consultations with local plastic surgeons in your community.
Best,
