I am middle Eastern so I have thick skin on my nose. I also have alot of issues regarding my nose. I have a deviated septum, a bump, my nose is collapsed on the left side, a bulbous tip, and wide nostrils. Is it possible to receive a smaller nose even though I have all these issues. Also, I know it would be unrealistic to expect to have a very small nose but how small would I be able to go? Thank you

Answer: Skin thickness in rhinoplasty Hello,Thank you for your question. Consultation in person by the Board Certified plastic surgeon would provide the best options in your case. After certain treatments for your skin you may achieve a slimmer and better appearance. The Closed and Atraumatic Approach minimizes swelling and bruises, maximizes healing process and prevents tissue damage. Best Regards

Answer: All good questions... Thank you for your question and photos. Without examining you in person it is impossible to give you a precise answer or surgical plan. That said, an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon (who might be a board certified plastic surgeon or facial plastic surgeon) can review a precise surgical plan with you to hopefully make you feel confident about your decision as to how to move forward. The nose is the visual "bull's eye" or focal point of the face and restoring proper nasal proportions can impact on the entire facial appearance. An ideal rhinoplasty would leave you looking "like you", yet refining your natural features to enhance the overall appearance both of your nose and therefore of your face. While rhinoplasty is one of the most common plastic surgery procedures performed world wide, it is also one of the procedures wherein revision surgery is most often requested due to patient dissatisfaction. Do your research, and consider more than one consultation to feel confident about your decision. It is important to feel that you and your surgeon are communicating effectively, and that you are confident that your surgeon can achieve the results you are hoping for. Best of luck to you.
