Area of Science:

Plastic Surgery
Otolaryngology

Background:

Thick skin in rhinoplasty patients poses challenges.
The skin soft tissue envelope (S-STE) is inelastic, prone to edema, dead space, and scarring.

Purpose of the Study:

To discuss current medical, topical, and surgical management strategies for rhinoplasty in thick-skinned patients.
To outline diagnostic options and post-operative treatments.

Main Methods:

Expert discussion on up-to-date management key points.
Focus on surgical approaches targeting the bony-cartilaginous framework and S-STE.

Main Results:

Strategies are presented to address the specific challenges of thick skin.
Emphasis on achieving consistent, improved long-term rhinoplasty results.

Conclusions:

Targeted approaches to both the framework and S-STE are crucial for successful rhinoplasty in thick-skinned individuals.
Comprehensive management, including medical, topical, and surgical interventions, is recommended.
