Patient is a 22-year-old female who has a long-standing desire to improve the appearance of her nose. Specifically, she does not like her profile as she feels it looks masculine and does not complement her other facial features (which she likes). She thinks that her nose on front view appears off-center and wide, and is very conscious of the asymmetry of her nostrils. Though she has wanted a rhinoplasty for years, she has been hesitant as her mother had her nose done, feels it looks like a “nose-job”. She desires a softer more elegant appearing nose that enhances her facial features, without looking operated on.
Rhinoplasty with septoplasty to straighten the nose, reduction of the nasal hump, and contouring of the nasal tip cartilages. A contemporary rhinoplasty should, in my opinion, be your own secret and serve to enhance your facial features while making you feel more beautiful or handsome. That is the art of plastic surgery.
