I had a rhinoplasty over a year ago and was very happy with the results. A few months ago, I underwent IPL treatment for redness in the nose and cheeks (rosacea), and since then I noticed my skin is oilier and thicker (especially at the tip but also on the bridge) than it was before even though i only did 2 treatments. Can either dermabrasion or CO2 laser resurfacing reduce nasal thickness? I'll always have thick oily skin but at the moment it's "too much" and am looking for improvement. Thanks
