Rhinoplasty #280

Our beautiful 28-year-old patient is seen one month after functional and cosmetic rhinoplasty surgery. Her nasal obstruction was due to a deviated nasal septum and external nasal valvular collapse. From an aesthetic standpoint, the patient didn’t like that her nose stuck out too far, was too long, and was associated with a dorsal hump and a droopy tip, especially when smiling. We derojected her nose, narrowed her nose, shortened her nose, corrected her deviated nasal septum, and strengthened her external nasal valves with lateral crural extension grafts. You can still see swelling in the lower third of her nose, which is normal only one month postoperative. We are beyond grateful that she has allowed us to share her photographs.
