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

Answer: Rhinoplasty for bulbous nose The rhinoplasty procedure won't not have any effect on the thick skin, large pores or acne breakouts on the skin. The rhinoplasty procedure will involve reducing the bulbous tip with a combination of tip suturing techniques and cartilage removal to affect the change in the tip. Also important to remove any dorsal hump at the same time to make sure the bridge and the tip are balanced with each other and your facial features. There is nothing that can be done preoperatively to make your skin better for the surgery itself, but anticipate needing a couple of cortisone shots in supra tip area of the nose in the first few months after the procedure. Digital computer imaging would be helpful to understand what accomplished with a rhinoplasty procedure upon your nose. For many examples, please see our rhinoplasty photo gallery link below
