Is Having Thin Skin an Advantage or a Disadvantage During a Rhinoplasty and Mostly After?

RJason
Does it mean the recovery from the swelling will be sooner ? Or thickness is not important ? Also I don't want to change anything in my nose , I only want to make it straight as it was , so I don't want any tip work . Does it mean that the swelling in the tip won't be that much ? Because I'm hearing a lot of "swelled hard rigid tip" even 5 months after the surgery . Is it because they have done something to their tip , maybe lift it ? or this happens to all patients no matter what ?
