Management of Thick Skin Envelope on Nose

October 15, 2015
Asked By:tychostafford in Melbourne, AU

While researching rhinoplasty, I have encountered many conflicting opinions on the merits of SMAS debulking and skin thinning procedures from surgeons. Some have stated that attempts to thin thick skin is useless; others state they regularly do so. 1. Given the controversy of such procedures, should I avoid surgeons who engage in it? 2. Why is there such division on the topic?
