Thick skin rhinoplasty differs from regular rhinoplasty in its approach to handling the unique properties of thicker nasal skin. Regular rhinoplasty often focuses on refining cartilage and bone structures, whereas thick skin rhinoplasty requires addressing the challenges posed by thicker, oilier, or less elastic skin. Special techniques, like thinning the skin or strengthening cartilage, are often used to create definition. Additionally, thick skin rhinoplasty demands careful post-operative care to manage prolonged swelling and ensure the desired contours are visible once healing is complete. This tailored approach helps patients achieve balanced and natural outcomes.
