Rhinoplasty #286

Is being over 70 too old for rhinoplasty? Absolutely not, if you are in good health. Our beautiful patient is seen before and one year after rhinoplasty surgery in our practice. The impetus for pursuing surgery was a recent nasal trauma that worsened her dorsal hump.

The goals of surgery were to create a narrower and straighter nasal appearance on front view, lift the tip on profile, and remove the hump. We also corrected her severely deviated septum to the right, which was post-traumatic in nature.

You can now see a natural-looking, less distracting, and more feminine nasal appearance. My rhinoplasty teacher taught me many years ago that rhinoplasty surgery often leads to a more youthful facial appearance by lifting the nasal tip. We are beyond grateful that our patient has allowed us to share her photographs.
