Patient is a 22-year-old female who just graduated from college and had always considered herself pretty, but had been long bothered by her nose, especially when she saw herself in photos. Specifically, she felt that her nose was over-projecting, not straight, and wanted like to have the bump taken away. She would like a less bulbous nasal tip, and a nose that appeared more like a model’s.
Rhinoplasty Septoplasty with straightening of the nasal septum, reduction of nasal dorsal hump and narrowing of nasal bones, and contouring of the nasal tip through cartilage reduction and suture techniques. Cartilage grafts were placed to maintain strength and support to the nose to maintain her beautiful result for years. Notice how her dorsal aesthetic lines flow from the top of her nose to its base. This is what makes a nose appear attractive and creates shadows that photograph beautifully.
