Rhinoplasty Before & After: Deviated Septum Correction and Refined Nasal Appearance

Featured Patient

Our beautiful 28-year-old patient is seen 2.5 years after functional and cosmetic rhinoplasty surgery. She had a severely deviated nasal septum that was obstructing her airway, and causing a small irregularity and asymmetry on the base view of her nose. This was associated with a wide nasal appearance, and an overprojected profile nasal appearance. In the after photos, you can see a narrower and less projected nasal appearance that is completely natural. She is breathing well and she's thrilled with her results, and we are grateful that she has allowed us to post her photos.

Patient Review:

“Dr. Joseph is the only doctor I would trust with a rhinoplasty. He made me feel super comfortable throughout the entire process. My results were even better than what I could have expected. I’ve referred many friends to him who have also had great experiences. Post-op, Dr. Joseph was there with any questions or concerns I had even on the weekends during non- working hours. I would recommend him to everyone.”

Rhinoplasty Before & After: Correct a Wide Nasal Bridge, Dorsal Hump, and a Droopy Tip

Rhinoplasty #276

Our gorgeous 32-year-old patient is shown before and one year after her rhinoplasty surgery. She was bothered by the width of her nasal bridge, a dorsal hump, and a droopy tip. At her one-year visit, you can see a smaller, more refined, and feminine nasal appearance that blends beautifully with her features. We're so grateful she allowed us to share her photos.

Rhinoplasty Before & After: Correcting Cosmetic And Functional Issues

Rhinoplasty #276

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 a Droopy Tip + Wide Nasal Appearance

Rhinoplasty #274

We met our beautiful patient when she was a senior in high school, and now she is thriving in college! She is a teenager who had severe dissatisfaction with her nasal appearance, and she is seen here one year after rhinoplasty surgery. Her goals were to achieve a narrower nasal appearance in the bridge, tip, and nostrils, as well as a shorter, less droopy tip and a more feminine profile. Her nasal tip was repaired with an extended shield graft, and you can see a narrower appearance and a nose that simply blends in, without any stigmata of previous rhinoplasty. Nostril narrowing, or alarplasty scars, are invisible. We are so grateful that she has allowed us to share her results.

Rhinoplasty Before & After: Eight Years After Functional + Cosmetic Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty #273

We are beyond grateful that our beautiful and kind patient has allowed us to post her results. Eight years ago, we performed a functional and cosmetic rhinoplasty surgery. From a functional standpoint, she had a deviated nasal septum, large turbinates, and internal nasal valve narrowing on both sides. Her functional repair consisted of correcting her deviated nasal septum, reducing her turbinates, and placing spreader grafts to open her nasal valves on both sides.

From a cosmetic standpoint, she did not like her bulbous, droopy tip and her dorsal hump. This is an excellent demonstration of a long-term rhinoplasty result from both a functional and cosmetic standpoint. Goals of surgery were to create a less distracting, more feminine, and better breathing nose. We also include the computer imaging that was performed to ensure that there were reasonable expectations. We do not "over morph" a nose, since our goal is to exceed somebody's expectations.

We were thrilled to see her a few months ago. She was bothered by the appearance of her chin and neck. You can see that she has a slightly recessive chin appearance, along with congenital, exercise-resistant neck fat that was additionally distracting and causing a double chin appearance. Our patient wished that she had chin implant surgery and neck liposuction at the time of her rhinoplasty; however, we wouldn't change a thing. An Implantech Anatomical Chin - Medium and neck liposuction were performed in the office with purely local anesthetic. We advocate neck liposuction as the treatment of choice for definitively treating a double chin appearance. Additionally, the combination of a chin implant and neck liposuction surgery exponentially improves the appearance of somebody's jawline when one is a good candidate. Her latest photos are 2 months after her chin implant and neck liposuction surgery. We are all thrilled with her results!
