Excess skin on nose bridge - is there any procedure that would help? (Photos)

Question

The skin on the nose bridge doesn't follow the shape of the bone. I don't know wether it is because there is an excess of skin or because the skin is too thick. It's been like this since I was a teenager and I have never had anything done before. Is there any procedure that would help? Thanks in advance.

The skin at the root of everybody's nose is Loosely attached like yours. To my knowledge, there is no procedure to address this, if it's a problem to you. Thank you for your question. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

We all have more skin laxity and thicker looking skin over radix of the nose. Your photos do not seem to show anything much different. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon expert in rhinoplasty would help.

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photographs alone, it is difficult to determine what you are referring to. Generally speaking Rhinoplasty can help reduce excessive skin on the nasal dorsum. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.
