Could thick skin 9 months after my rhinoplasty be scar tissue? (Photos)

February 28, 2019
Asked By:fsaadat in San Diego, CA

9 months post-op, I have thick oily skin. It’s undefined in the front & uneven it goes down then immediately up on the slope. On one side it’s bulbous and I’m thinking that’s scar tissue?I had a thin nose before! Im hoping I’m still swollen so I can get Kenalog injections to help me out as I don’t want a revision. Im going to include 3 photos of me currently and then what the doctor said I’d look like and then an edit of a current photo that I want to look like. Just wondering if swollen!

Answer: Thick skin needs longer to heal after a rhinoplasty--especially if done via the open approach.
