Patient is a 39-year-old female who desired a nose that appeared more feminine and refined. She disliked the deviation and over-projection of her nasal dorsum, and thought that the nose started too high on her forehead. She wanted a more contoured nasal tip and more sculpted nasal bones, more like a model’s nose.
Rhinoplasty with Septoplasty and straightening of nasal septum, contouring of nasal bones and reduction of nasal dorsum. The top of the nose was lowered (radix reduction) giving the nose a more feminine and delicate appearance. The nasal tip cartilages were reduced and contoured enhancing the new dorsal aesthetic lines of the nose. The surgery was supported with internal cartilage grafts with stability appearing in the photos taken 6 years after the original rhinoplasty. She was so happy with her result that she brought in her daughter for the same surgery.
