Patient is a 20 year-old college student who would like a more attractive nose that better complements her facial features. She basically feels that she got her father’s nose and thinks it is too masculine, with wide nasal bones, a wide nasal tip, and mild dorsal hump. She would like a nose that seems prettier and more feminine, while maintaining her “look”.
Procedure: Septorhinoplasty with reduction of nasal dorsum, narrowing of nasal bones to create appropriate dorsal aesthetic lines, and refinement of nasal tip through cartilage reduction and suture techniques. Internal cartilage grafts were placed to provide long-term stability, and nostrils were reduced to complement her refined nasal tip. Photos are 9 months post-surgery. She loves her result.
