Patient is a 34-year-old female that has considering a rhinoplasty for years. She is otherwise happy with her facial features, obtaining her strong bone structure from her mother which she greatly appreciates. She is bothered by her nose as she feels it does not match her face, appearing unrefined and over-projecting. She would like to correct her crooked dorsum and tip, and simultaneously reduce her nostrils. She would like subtle changes performed that accentuate and complement her face.
Procedure: Septorhinoplasty with straightening of bones and septum, mild reduction of dorsal hump, and contouring of her nasal tip through cartilage reduction and suture techniques. Her nasal projection was reduced and maintained with the introduction of internal cartilage grafts, and her nostrils were modified to decrease flare. Photographs are approximately 6 months post-surgery. She is incredibly happy with her results, feeling that her nose is one that she wishes she had been born with.
