I had a somewhat round nose tip and was advised I had a thick skin as well. I went ahead with the surgery to sharpen the tip and internal cartilage was removed. The doctor also said that he reduced the thickness of the skin. Its been more than 16 months post surgery and I see a more bulky nose tip! while at 6 months post op, my nose was clearly smaller. What can I do now to achieve the nose I had 6 months post op ? Please help.

Answer: Rhinoplasty Results with Thick Skin After 16 months, the "swelling" component of your swelling is fully resolved. However, if you still have a bulky tip and thick skin, it is possible that scar tissue has been produced, adding to the lack of definition you currently describe. Thick skin will likely never get as thin as you would like, but if it is worse, then scar tissue may be the culprit. Injection of a steroid could be beneficial, but the longer the scar is in place, the less responsive it is. See a specialist get a better idea after a full exam is performed.
