Derotation and nose lengthening. Will the skin be more stretchable? (Photo)

August 16, 2022
Asked By:pollted112 in Sanger, California

I used to have a very long and big nose. During my primary, my nose was shrunk and raised too high for a man. I read the limiting factor for lengthening and de-rotating a nose in a revision is the skin and how flexible it is. Since my nose used to be long and big, does that mean the skin will be more stretchable?
