Cutting slice of skin off from nose during rhinoplasty between eyes to shorten skin that gets loose as we age? Normal?

Asked By:SurvivingTbotch in San Francisco, CA

I see some ps does this. My skin is very loose on upper nose since ps carved bone too small. I'm trying to figure out best options. Seems like pinching skin between eyes helps nose skin looseness. If skin was cut off then maybe the whole nose would not need so much building wider and larger and it feels it helps detached cartilages.I dont mind small scar there. I have seen reconstructive facial surgery pictures and scars do not seem to be that bad. Makeup can be applied.
