Actual RealSelf Patient Comment: Couple of years ago I went for a rhinoplasty consultation but the surgeon told me that my skin is too thin and he would not be able to do my rhinoplasty due to my thin skin. My main concern is my flared large nostrils. I left very sad knowing that my nose has no hope and I’m stuck with this nose for the rest of my days. 🙁 Is this true? Would other surgeons be able to do it? TIA

A: A skilled rhinoplasty surgeon can help you achieve your rhinoplasty goals. Thin skin is not a reason to not perform rhinoplasty. There are advanced surgical techniques that will allow you to get the nose of your dreams as long as you choose your rhinoplasty surgeon carefully. I highly recommend my colleague Ari Hyman, MD who is both an expert rhinoplasty surgeon as well as a true artist. Dr. Hyman is trained in advanced rhinoplasty techniques, experienced, skilled, knowledgable, and possesses natural artistic vision. Feel free to call our office to schedule your consultation with Dr. Hyman, we look forward to meeting with you. Stay well.
