Why is it more difficult to operate a meaty nose?
Most people know that the size and shape of their nose is determined by the underlying structures of the nose. Therefore, rhinoplasty focuses on changing the shape of the skeleton and cartilage of the nose. However, if the nose has thick skin, the surgery is more difficult for the doctor to achieve the desired results.
If your skin is neither too thin nor too thick and has a smooth and healthy color, there will be no limit to the changes. On the other hand, if your skin is too thick or too thin, there may be limitations on the final result of rhinoplasty.
What can affect skin thickness?
The skin on your nose is thicker and has more collagen than the skin anywhere else on your body. Here are some factors that can affect skin thickness:
1. Genetics
The thickness of the skin on your nose is largely determined by your genetics/ethnicity.
2. old age
As you age, the elasticity of the skin decreases due to the loss of collagen and other factors such as sun damage and other forms of skin damage. As a result, you start to develop wrinkles and sagging skin on your face, including your nose.
3. Sun exposure
As you know, too much exposure to the sun can damage your skin, including the skin on your nose. The sun’s UV rays thin your skin, destroy collagen and elastin, and as a result lose elasticity and firmness. As the skin on your nose thins, you may notice wrinkles, blemishes, and sagging.
4. Scar wound
The skin on your nose can also lose thickness due to scarring from acne or other injuries.
In general, a fleshy nose is a nose that has a thick skin. Now the question arises:
Does thick skin affect rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is the science and art of surgically reshaping the cartilage and bones of the nose to create the perfect nose you’ve always wanted. But many do not know that another integral physical factor in rhinoplasty is the thickness of the skin on your nose.
Globally, Eastern European or African people are more likely to have thicker skin. But in our own country, almost 29% of people have a fleshy nose or thick skin nose. In general, men’s noses have thicker skin than women’s. Thin skin can be caused by overexposure to the sun, genetics, and aging. Some medications may cause thinning of the skin.

The two challenges for the surgeon are creating a smooth nasal bridge and creating a symmetrical nasal tip. This has been proven to provide satisfactory results even for patients with paper-thin skin. This procedure involves removing tissue from the temporalis muscle and using it to create a symmetrical nose.
Effects of thick skin
Thicker skin hides any asymmetry or surgical problems, but may also hide changes to the nose. Patients with thicker skin sometimes have thicker nasal rims and wider nasal tips. These features make it more difficult to achieve nose tip correction.
