Patient is a 34-year-old female who has long yearned for a more sculpted and feminine appearing nose that better complements her bone structure. She does not like the bump on her profile, or the lack of definition of the tip that she attributes to her German and Irish heritage. She really dislikes having her photo taken and always uses filters to simulate her desired nose. She would love to cut her hair short, but is afraid to as she feels it will make her nose all the more obvious.
Procedure: Septorhinoplasty with reduction of nasal dorsal hump, straightening of the nasal septum with placement of internal cartilage grafts to stabilize the septum in its new position. The nasal tip was contoured through cartilage reduction and suture techniques and the nostrils were mildly modified for symmetry. Photos are 2 months post-surgery. She wears her hair short now as she loves her nose and overall appearance, and her shyness is slowly improving with her new found confidence in her appearance.
