Thick skin bulbous tip rhinoplasty is one of the most common concerns among the patients considering rhinoplasty. At the same time it is one of the most challenging cases to be addressed as it requires a different approach and fine workmanship. To achieve the best possible results the quality of the skin should be improved before the surgery by the special treatments. Due to a wide alar base and low ability to shrink for thick skin alar plasty is performed to remove the excessive skin and fat tissues on the wings of the nose.
Additionally to the internal interventions it is performed to bring inside the nose from the front, reduce the nostrils’ size and fix asymmetries between them, thus this way catch a harmony between the tip and bridge of the nose. It shouldn’t be confused with the open surgery since all interventions are performed through the nostrils without opening the nose. When it comes to reduction rhinoplasty essential to keep in mind that there is always a limit on how much a nose can be reduced safely without compromising the functionality. Therefore, thick-skinned patients need to set realistic expectations.

Deborah
Hello Doctor Tas, how long does it take to heal the scars on the alar base?
Assoc.Prof.Dr. Suleyman TAS
Hi Deborah, the scars on the alar base are performed skillfully, and in case of proper after care become invisible and hidden in the natural line of the nose in 2-3 months.
Charlie
What is the difference between the scar on the columella and alas of the nose?
Assoc.Prof.Dr. Suleyman TAS
Hi Charlie, thank you for a good question. With the Closed Technique the nerve, ligament and vascular tissue is protected at the nose tip and this way nose tip’s flexibility ability isn’t deteriorated. Whereas, alarplasty requires the removal of the excessive skin and fat tissues without causing an injury to the functionality of the nose.

Incredible results doctor. Do you break the bones during the rhinoplasty?

Is rhinoplasty a painful procedure?
