Rhinoplasty and skin thickening: is it possible to treat thick skin on the nose before a rhinoplasty? (Photos)

December 20, 2019

Is it advisable to treat skin thickening (in my case it's on one side of my nose only, close to the tip) with lasers or other procedures before considering a Rhinoplasty when the objective is to get a thinner nose and a more refined tip. Could untreated skin thickening (in that section) affect the overall result of the rhinoplasty? And how can this be prevented?Thanks for your valuable input!
