In the context of skin \'hyper-\' is commonly used, so \'hyper-nourished\' is a possibility, although I have found no references using the term.

hyper-sensitive skin
hyper-pigmented skin
hyper-allergenic skin

[piel] hipernutrida
hypernourished [skin]


Explanation:
"Well-nourished" connotes a good thing (it goes along nicely with "no swelling"), but "overhourished" would be a bad thing (see definition below). To avoid giving an incorrect impression, I think it's safer to stick with the cognate and let the author be responsible.

According to Dorland, "hypernutrition" is "overfeeding and its ill effects." It does not give a cross-reference to "overnutrition," which means that "hypernutrition" is an accepted term in its own right.
