Rhinoplasty Before & After: Straighter, and Narrower Nasal Appearance

Rhinoplasty #235

Our beautiful 23 year old patient is seen one year after rhinoplasty surgery. Goals of surgery were to provide a straighter, and narrower nasal appearance and a less projected nasal profile appearance. She was repaired with a right spreader graft for nasal straightening, a tip-plasty for narrowing and improved tip symmetry, nostril narrowing, and profile deprojection with "tension-nose" repair for a less distracting and more feminine nasal appearance. You can see red spots under her right eye after we removed several white milia that were bothersome at her "nose-aversary".

Rhinoplasty Before & After: Corrected Nasal Flaring

Rhinoplasty #234

Our beautiful 24 year old patient is seen 7 days after functional and cosmetic rhinoplasty surgery. Before surgery, she did not like the invitation along the right side wall of her nose and she did not like her wide tip and flaring nostril appearance. She was also self-conscious about her profile bump. Her repair consisted of nasal narrowing with a right-sided spreader graft, dorsal reduction, tip-plasty, and nostril narrowing. You can see an unoperated and less distracting nasal appearance, along with better breathing.

Rhinoplasty Before & After: Improved Nasal Breathing

Rhinoplasty #233

Our beautiful 28 year old patient is seen one year after functional and cosmetic rhinoplasty surgery. She had airway obstruction from a deviated nasal septum, turbinate enlargement, and from internal nasal valve narrowing on both sides. Her airway was corrected with septoplasty, turbinate reduction, and bilateral spreader grafts. Her large dorsal hump was removed, and her tip-plasty included an extended shield graft. You can see a natural looking, less distracting, and more feminine nasal appearance - and her nasal breathing was greatly improved.

Rhinoplasty Before & After: Results with Previously Dysfunctional Breathing

Rhinoplasty #232

Our 28 year old patient is seen 1 year after functional and cosmetic rhinoplasty surgery. Her nasal obstruction was due to congenitally weak lower lateral tip cartilages. She also desired nasal narrowing, and a less projected profile. You can see a natural looking, less distracting, and more feminine nasal appearance - and her breathing is terrific.

Rhinoplasty Before & After: Results with a Crooked Nose

Rhinoplasty #231

Our beautiful 29 year old patient is seen 6 months after functional and cosmetic rhinoplasty surgery. She did not like her nasal profile and wanted it refined for her wedding. She did not want a curved nasal profile appearance. She was also concerned by her crooked and droopy nasal appearance that was distracting on her front view. Her airway was compromised by congenitally weak nasal tip cartilages that caused external nasal valve collapse preoperatively with deep breathing. This was repaired with lateral crural strut overlay grafts, and turbinate reduction was also performed. You can see a smaller, less distracting, and natural looking nasal appearance, and her breathing is terrific. She had a lovely wedding last year, and we are so grateful she has let us post her amazing results.
