Rhinoplasty Before & After: Correcting Cosmetic And Functional Issues

Featured Patient

These before and after photos are an excellent demonstration of both functional and cosmetic rhinoplasty surgery in our beautiful patient who has thin nasal skin. Her nasal obstruction was caused by internal nasal valve collapse, external nasal valve collapse, a deviated nasal septum to the right, and bilateral turbinate enlargement. She was also dissatisfied with the appearance of her nose. You can see that she had a bulbous droopy tip and a sizable profile hump. Her functional repair included septoplasty, bilateral spreader grafts, and bilateral lateral crural strut grafts. We also narrowed and rotated her nasal tip and took down her nasal hump. Additionally, you can see that the freckle at the base of her nose is permanently gone. We removed this with light electrocautery at the end of her rhinoplasty surgery. She is one year after surgery and we are all thrilled with her final result.

Patient Review:

“Dr Eric is amazing!!! Hi staff is so kind and accommodating and he is an exceptional surgeon! I had an aggressive turbinate removal and rhinoplasty and could not be happier with my results. My nose is now functional and beautiful! This was my second nose surgery (for breathing purposes) and wanted to get a rhinoplasty with it. He was the 5th doctor i saw for the procedure and I am so thankful for him! My recovery was easy and my result is amazing!!”

Rhinoplasty Before & After: Correct Dorsal Hump, Wide Droopy Tip, and Flaring Nostrils

Rhinoplasty #266

Our 35 year old gentleman is seen one year after rhinoplasty surgery. He was self-conscious about the appearance of his dorsal hump, wide droopy tip, and flaring nostrils. His hump was removed, his tip was rotated, and his nose was narrowed. We used a cartilage extended shield graft to increase projection of the nasal tip, and to add definition and stability. You can see a lovely and natural looking nasal appearance which is less distracting. We are beyond grateful that our patient has allowed us to use his photos.

Rhinoplasty Before & After: Wide and Bulbous Nasal Appearance

Rhinoplasty #264

Our beautiful 42-year-old patient's photos compare before, and 6 months after we performed rhinoplasty surgery. She was self-conscious about the overly wide and bulbous appearance of her nose on front view. On profile, you can see that her bulky tip cartilages were causing supratip fullness. Additionally, she had chronic nasal obstruction from refractory turbinate hypertrophy. Goals of surgery were to provide narrowing in the upper middle and lower thirds of her nose, along with refinement of her profile. Her nasal obstruction was addressed by correcting her deviated nasal septum, and by reducing her inferior turbinates that were allergic, large and obstructing.

The upper and middle thirds of her nose were narrowed with osteotomies. Her tip narrowing was achieved by dividing her lower lateral cartilages, performing a cephalic trim, and by placing a columella strut graft.
You can see a narrower nasal appearance on front view, along with Improvement in her nasal profile appearance as well. This has resulted in a less distracting, better breathing, and more feminine nasal appearance. Are grateful that she has allowed us to post her photographs.

Patient Review:

“Dr. Joseph is amazing! Highly recommend. I have been wanting to have rhinoplasty for many years and have seen different surgeons for consultations. As soon as I met with Dr. Joseph I felt comfortable and safe that everything would turn out how I've hoped. I'm 6 months post op and love the results. My nose is less distracting and very natural. Through the whole process I felt heard and could contact him with any questions or concerns. So glad I found Dr. Joseph and his amazing team. If I ever want to do anything else cosmetic I will def see them again.”

Rhinoplasty Before & After: Wide Droopy Tip, Profile Hump Correction

Rhinoplasty #263

Our beautiful patient is seen one year following rhinoplasty surgery. She did not like how far her nose stuck out on profile, and she did not like her dorsal hump and her wide droopy tip appearance. Her after photos are one year after surgery, and you can see a natural looking and less distracting and more feminine nasal appearance.

Rhinoplasty Before & After: One Year After Male Rhinoplasty + Septoplasty

Rhinoplasty #263

Our handsome patient is seen one year after functional and cosmetic rhinoplasty surgery. He had nasal obstruction from a deviated nasal septum and from narrowed internal nasal valves on both sides. He was also dissatisfied with the appearance of his nasal profile with his bump and tension lip deformity, and on the front view, he did not like his droopy tip.

The after photos are one year after surgery. His Airway was corrected with septoplasty and bilateral spreader grafts to open up his internal nasal valves. His tension lip deformity was caused by a prominent anterior nasal spine which was removed. His tip was rotated, and his dorsum was reduced. You can see a natural-looking, unoperated, and less distracting nasal appearance.
