Are there limitations on what can be done during revision rhinoplasties? I am wondering if a nose can only be fixed to a certain extent. I have thick nasal skin and have had 3 revisions. The first 2 left me with too much nostril showing. The 3rd revision seemed to take care of that but now my nose is more bulbous and wider it was originally. I am 2 1/2 years post op and wonder if it's too soon for another revision. Thank you

Answer: Revision Rhinoplasty Hi @mlps! There are limitations with thick skin. I recommend seeing an expert revision rhinoplasty specialist for an in person examination. There are options for you that can be determined after examination. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

Answer: Yes and yes Yes, there are limitations to what can be done during revision rhinoplasties, depending on how you present and what was done in the prior rhinoplasty. That being said, thick skin can be reduced in several ways. Skin care and retinoids preoperatively can help control oiliness and inflammation. Intraoperatively, the skin envelope can be thinned surgically. After surgery, energy treatments like Morpheus8 can help reduce thickness, as well as getting back on retinoids and skin care.
