RealSelf Actual Patient Comment: Hi I had a rhinoplasty consultation today and was told that I have thick skin. Should I have a second consultation? Is rhinoplasty impossible on thick skin like mine?

A: Rhinoplasty can be performed in thick skinned patients. We always recommend that patients get a few consultations before deciding on their rhinoplasty surgeon, as that choice is the most important aspect of your surgery. An expert rhinoplasty surgeon can work with thick skin. I suggest consultation with Ari Hyman, MD who is extremely well trained, skilled, experienced, and has natural artistic vision. Good luck and be well.
