Patient is an 18 year-old female with a desire to have a more elegant and feminine appearing nose. She does not like the hump on her nasal profile, or her bulbous and over-projecting nasal tip that lacks definition and makes her nose look too rounded and thick. She would like a more delicate appearing nasal profile that better complements her facial features.
Procedure: Septorhinoplasty with reduction of dorsal hump with lowering of over-projecting nasal tip, and refinement of nasal tip with cartilage reduction and suture techniques. Her photos are approximately 3 months post-surgery and significant further nasal tip definition and reduction of thickness of her nose can be expected over time as the swelling diminishes and tissues settle. She feels that her nose looks natural and quite beautiful.
