I don't like the roundness at the tip of my nose and I also don't like the width of it. I read online that noses with "thick" skin aren't good cannidates for nose jobs. Is this true? And what exactly does that mean? It is possible for me to have a successful nose job?
Answer: Can I Have a Successful Nose Job Hi and thanks for your photos and question. Yes, you can have a successful rhinoplasty. You do have a bulbous tip and it appears that you have wide nostrils. Your skin is a bit on the thicker side, but not extremely thick. A rhinoplasty to reduce the tip bulbosity and narrow the nostrils would make a nice difference. I would be happy to see you for a consultation with computer imaging to show you what can be achieved.

Answer: Thick skin nose It is true that patients who have thick skin do not get a well-defined nose after rhinoplasty.However, a good improvement can't be achieved by reducing the width of the nostrils through alar plasty and reducing the bulbous tip through cartilage reduction, tip plasty. As long as you are realistic with your expectations you can benefit from her rhinoplasty and have a successful outcome.RegardsDr. J

Answer: Rhinoplasty surgery may be considered for achieving a narrower nasal tip appearance. Based on your photos, you may not have very thick nasal skin. Thick nasal skin is usually associated with darker skin types, rather than freckles. If you have significant dissatisfaction with your nasal appearance, consider consulting with several reputable rhinoplasty specialists so you could see what to expect after rhinoplasty surgery. Hope this helps! Dr Joseph

Answer: Rhinoplasty Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photograph, you may benefit from a tip refining rhinoplasty. Your surgeon can accomplish this by trimming, suturing, and reshaping the cartilage in your lower nose. You may have thick skin on your nasal tip, but this can still be improved with rhinoplasty. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and not just a computer animation system. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. Harvard-trained plastic surgeon
