Patient is a 29-year-old female who desired a perkier and more feminine appearing nose. She did not like the prominent dorsal hump on her profile and wanted to change her nasal tip that went down when she smiled. She wanted a softer appearing nose that better complemented her facial features while appearing natural and maintains her ethnicity.
Rhinoplasty with Septoplasty with reduction of bony hump, narrowing of nasal bones and increase of nasal tip projection with placement of internal cartilage strut. The nasal tip cartilages were both contoured and repositioned to a perkier position. A fascial graft was placed at her radix (the top of the nasal bridge at the forehead) to soften the transition of the forehead to nose which makes the nose look more feminine and elegant. She loves her new nose at only 2 months post-op.
