9 Days Post Op, is my Nose Still Big? I Have Thick Skin and Surgeon Said Results Will Be Minimal.

March 21, 2013
Asked By:eliza bethany in Avon Park, Florida

I have attached photos, one of my pre op nose, one of my first operation and then my second operation which was 9 days ago. Performed by the same surgeon. I have very thick skin so my surgeon said I cannot get a small tip etc. Is this a good result? My first operation my nose was too scooped and my surgeon amended this. I feel that my tip is still large and long for my face. My tip was also shortened slightly.

Answer: Your surgeon is right. Thick skin decreases the aesthetic yield from a rhinoplasty.
