I'm a senior in high school, and I would like to get my nose done in the summer after I graduate before I go to college. I'm sure I want this procedure done, but my skin is the only thing that is holding me back. I have very large pores and a history of acne. I'm not only embarrassed, but worried about the results. What can I expect as far as results, and what can I expect of my skin? Is there anything I can do to improve my skin before surgery? I already use retin-a and take Spironolactone.
Answer: Bulbous tip rhinoplasty with thick skin You're right that your thicker skin is a consideration when it comes to surgery, but it should still be possible to improve the overall appearance of your nose with rhinoplasty.

Answer: Rhinoplasty with Thick Skin Thank you for the question and your photos, and congratulations on making the decision to move forward with nose surgery. Thick skin can make improvements in the contour of the nose a bit less obvious -- this is because the changes that are made in the bone and cartilage framework remain somewhat hidden by the skin "blanket." However, during the procedure, the skin thickness over the tip can be slightly reduced from the inside. In terms of the pore size and acne breakouts, the nose surgery will not address these issues. Other treatments can be used, however, including facial peels and laser. Best of luck moving forward!#San Francisco Rhinoplasty
