Skin on Nose is Flexible, Rubbery and Lacking Normal Elasticity After a Revision Rhinoplasty

It is impossible to evaluate you through a description.  A full exam is cirtical to establish what your concerns are and discuss possible options for treatment.

It is impossible to tell you without seeing you in person and also knowing how long ago you had your procedure.  Initially, the nasal skin has some swelling or edema which makes it look and feel different.  With time this resolves as the nose gets more defined and firm.  However, if too much of the cartilage or bone has been removed, there is a chance you will be left with "too much" skin for the new framework.  This must be assessed in person and with your surgeon. No formal decisions should be made until one year after your surgery.

Most of these issues get better with time and you should see continued improvement if you are early in your recovery. However, if this has been persistent months after your procedure, the true nature of your issues can only be determined by your original surgeon or after one year from your original procedure.

Best of luck
