Rhinoplasty Before & After: Alleviating Chronic Nasal Obstruction

Rhinoplasty #251

Our beautiful 31 year old patient is seen 5 months after functional and cosmetic rhinoplasty surgery. She had chronic nasal obstruction from her deviated nasal septum and enlarged turbinates. She also didn't like how the lower third of her nose was so wide on front view, and she felt her nose stuck out too far on profile. To improve her airway, we corrected her deviated septum, reduced her turbinates, and placed spreader grafts on both sides to enlarge her internal nasal valves. We narrowed her tip and nostrils, and we deprojected her nasal profile for a less distracting, more feminine, and better breathing nose.
