Is there anything that can be done to prevent further shrink wrapping of the skin several years after rhinoplasty?

Asked By:Omaha2616 in Omaha, NE

I had a revision rhinoplasty 6 years ago to add more structural support for my nose but I can still feel/see the effects progressing each year as I have thin skin. Does it usually level off after so many years? Are there any alternative methods to help with this besides further surgical intervention?
