Patient is a 41 year-old female who desires a more elegant and feminine appearing nose that better complements her facial features. She feels that her nose looks rather masculine and does not like her dorsal bump, wide nasal tip and nostrils. She would like a nose with a shorter profile and a more contoured and perky nasal tip. She feels that her nose is too wide and would like to appear more attractive in photographs with classic “dorsal aesthetic lines” as she sees in models and influencers. She has also yearned for a stronger chin to complement her impressive cheekbones which she loves.
Procedure: Septorhinoplasty with reduction of nasal hump, contouring of nasal tip through cartilage reduction and suture techniques, and adjustment of nostrils to provide symmetry and balance to her new nose. Internal cartilage grafts were placed to allow skin to re-drape and create angularity which is critical in think-skinned patients. Finally, a medium extended anatomic chin implant was placed to provide improved balance to her chin and jawline.
Photos are 5 weeks after surgery, and very significant improvement in the shape and size of her nose can be expected up to 1 year. She loves her new look.
