Patient is a 36 year-old Hispanic female who had a previous rhinoplasty approximately 13 years ago for which she was never happy with her result. She has seen widening of her nasal bones and a deviation of her nasal tip, and has trouble breathing. Initially she desired a smaller, straighter, and “perkier” nasal tip. She has always dreamed of having a “model’s” nose.
Procedure: Revision Septorhinoplasty with reduction of dorsal hump and straightening of both nasal bones and nasal septum. The nasal tip was contoured using cartilage suture techniques, and shortened and rotated to give the desired effect. Internal cartilage grafts were used to increase nasal tip projection and maintain functional and aesthetic integrity. Photos are 1.5 years after surgery. She is thrilled with her result with a significant boost to her self-confidence.
