Patient is a 50-year-old Asian female with a long-standing desire improve the appearance of her nose. She disliked her profile, and felt that her nose lacked adequate projection, especially near the brows. She wanted a thinner nose, with a more contoured and feminine nasal tip and nostrils. She wanted to avoid a silicone implant along the nasal dorsum, choosing rather to use her own tissue if possible.
Rhinoplasty with septoplasty, and placement of facial/cartilaginous graft to the nasal dorsum to provide height and projection. She also underwent contouring of her nasal tip with suture techniques and placement of a cartilaginous tip graft to add angularity and tip projection. Lastly, the nasal bones were narrowed, giving balance and proportion to the nose, further highlighting her cheekbones and eyes. Please note her beautiful dorsal aesthetic lines. She was delighted with the result.
