Scanning through the questions regarding rhinoplasty, the term 'thick nasal skin' has been abundant; I would like to know more about this and if there is a way to check whether I myself have thick nasal skin? Also, how limited do rhinoplasty options become in the case of a patient with thick skin? Thank you in advance.

Answer: Thick Nasal Skin This is something your plastic surgeon can tell you. It just limits the results that can be achieved as a lot needs to be done to have a smaller improvement.

Answer: Thick nasal skin Thick skin is typically thick due to the oil glands (sebaceous glands that are present). However, this term is often used to describe patients with thicker adipose tissue in the nasal tip as well. Generally the tip of the nose has shapes and facets similar to a diamond. When the tip of the nose lacks these facets and has a blunted poorly defined tip and the nasal cartilages and bones are not visible we label the skin as being thick.
