Thick-Skinned Nose Rhinoplasty
A fleshy nose is one of the most challenging nose types for rhinoplasty. In this type of nose, the skin is thicker with more sebaceous glands, the nasal cartilages are weaker, and the nasal tip is usually broad or drooping. These features make rhinoplasty for fleshy noses require a very high level of precision and expertise to achieve a beautiful, natural, and lasting result.
Characteristics of a Fleshy Nose
- Thick, oily skin
- Broad and drooping nasal tip
- Weak and thin cartilages
- The nostrils may also be wider
These characteristics make shaping a fleshy nose more difficult compared to bony noses, as it requires cartilage reinforcement and careful preservation of nasal structure.
Why Is Fleshy Nose Surgery More Difficult?
Because thick skin makes it harder to reveal the new form and structure of the nose. Even if the cartilages are well-shaped, the skin may cause the final result to appear bulkier and without a delicate curve. For this reason, fleshy nose rhinoplasty requires special techniques that strengthen the cartilage and take the skin into account.
Techniques for Success in Fleshy Nose Rhinoplasty
Dr. Hamidreza Rasti, ENT and facial plastic surgeon, with years of experience in fleshy nose surgery, uses the latest technologies such as the new generation of Piezosurgery. This enables more precise reshaping of bones and cartilage while minimizing damage to the surrounding tissues.
In addition, in fleshy noses, cartilage grafts (usually from the nasal septum or the ear) are often used to strengthen the nasal tip and bridge structure. This helps maintain the nose’s form and prevents the thick skin from causing drooping.
The Importance of Detailed Facial Analysis Before Surgery
A comprehensive and specialized analysis of the patient’s face before surgery is another key point in this type of operation. At his clinic on Shariati Street, Dr. Rasti carefully evaluates the structure of the face and nose to determine the best surgical strategy, ensuring that the final nasal shape harmonizes fully with the rest of the facial features for a natural and beautiful result.
Postoperative Care for Fleshy Nose Rhinoplasty
One of the most important aspects after fleshy nose surgery is patience during the recovery period. Because of thicker skin and greater swelling, it may take several months for the final shape of the nose to become fully visible. Following medical instructions precisely, including regular nasal taping and avoiding trauma or pressure on the nose, is essential during this time.
Final Result of Fleshy Nose Rhinoplasty
If performed by a skilled and experienced surgeon, a fleshy nose can achieve a very natural, beautiful, and well-proportioned shape. With his expertise and use of advanced technology, Dr. Hamidreza Rasti ensures that this goal is achieved in the best possible way, bringing patient satisfaction.
