Should I pursue a Revision Rhinoplasty with thick skin?

February 3, 2022
Asked By:joanself in Toronto, ON

I had a primary closed rhinoplasty 7 years ago and while I am happy with the improvement, I've been unhappy with the bulbous look of my tip area. I understand this is due to either scar tissue build up or not enough bone being shaved down, or both. My surgeon said he doesn't recommend another surgery because I have thick skin. I am actually ok with having a bulbous tip nose, but I'd like for it to be slightly more refined so it doesn't look so "swollen". What would you recommend?
