What is thick skin rhinoplasty?

Thick skin rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to reshape and refine the nose for individuals with thicker nasal skin. Thick skin often makes it challenging to achieve a defined nasal contour. Surgeons must consider the unique structure of the skin, cartilage, and tissue. The goal is to balance aesthetics while maintaining functionality. Thick skin rhinoplasty typically involves precise techniques, such as reducing excess tissue and sculpting cartilage to achieve a natural look. Patients with thick nasal skin often require a tailored approach to address their specific needs and optimize outcomes for long-term satisfaction.
