Patient is a 30-year-old female who relocated from Iraq four months before coming in for a consultation regarding improving the appearance of her nose. She desired a shorter and perkier tip with a more refined profile that better complemented and accentuated her facial features. She was specifically self-conscious about how her nasal tip turned down when she smiled and looked forward to being more self-confident.
Rhinoplasty Septoplasty with straightening of nasal septum, reduction of dorsal hump and radix, and contouring of nasal tip cartilages through suture and excisional techniques. Importantly cartilage grafts were placed internally to provide long term support in light of the patient’s ethnicity and thick skin with the propensity for loss of definition over time. She is very happy with her results and sees improved definition over time. Photos were taken 5 months post surgery.
