Does it look like I have medium or thin skin thickness? I want to deproject and refine my tip.

The shape of your tip is primarily due to the shape of the cartilages beneath the skin. In your case your skin is on the thinner side so you see the cartilage more clearly. You should get a great result if the tip is done well. Good luck.

Rhinoplasty requires exceptional skill on behalf of the surgeon and great communication with the patient about realistic goals and expectations. Common cosmetic concerns include a dorsal hump, wide nose, sunken nose, irregularities, and asymmetries. Functional concerns include difficulty breathing through the nose, which can and should be addressed at the same time as your rhinoplasty.

In your situation, you have medium thickness skin. A profile picture is recommended for further advise.

Find someone you connect with, who will listen to your concerns and provide you with a framework for what is possible.

With your provided pictures, your skin doesn't seems to be thick. Tip refining is achievable and if you want a bridge narrowing could be done too, to balance with your new tip's size.

The changes to deproject your nose and refine the tip appear significant enough that with any skin thickness you will likely see the changes you want. Being caucasian and young female you are likely to have thin to medium skin thickness which will be liberal to show the changes. Thicker skins do tend to hide and reduce the underlying changes. I think you will likely have a good outcome.

It is hard to assess your skin thickness without actually examining you. I agree, you would benefit from tip refinement as you appear to have a boxy tip.

You are absolutely right, skin thickness dramatically affects rhinoplasty. From your photos, you appear to have a medium skin thickness. This type of skin is ideal for rhinoplasty, as it allows for precise results after cartilage manipulation. It lends itself well to tip definement and change in projection. As always, it is important that you consult with a board-certified Plastic Surgeon who specializes in rhinoplasty.
