Rhinoplasty Before & After: Addressed An Over Projecting Nasal Profile

Rhinoplasty #278

Our beautiful high school student is seen before and one year after rhinoplasty surgery performed in our practice. She was mostly concerned by her overprojected nasal profile appearance—her nose simply stuck out too far and was distracting. She is thrilled with her smaller and more feminine nasal appearance, and she is confident heading off to college in August.

Rhinoplasty Before & After: Narrower Bridge, Refined Tip, and Improved Breathing

Rhinoplasty #277

Our handsome teenage patient is seen before and one year after functional and cosmetic rhinoplasty surgery. He had a severely deviated nasal septum that was causing severe nasal obstruction, and he was unhappy with his wide nasal appearance, dorsal hump, and droopy tip. He also had severely enlarged turbinates, likely due to allergies, which further contributed to his severe nasal obstruction. His surgery consisted of nasal narrowing, dorsal reduction, tip lifting, septoplasty, and turbinate reduction. The goals of male rhinoplasty surgery are to improve breathing while creating a less distracting and masculine nasal appearance. We are beyond grateful that our handsome patient has allowed us to post his photographs.

Rhinoplasty Before & After: Addressed Functional and Cosmetic Concerns

Rhinoplasty #265

Our beautiful 19 year old patient is seen 15 months following functional and cosmetic rhinoplasty surgery. She presented to our office with a nasusceptal fracture, a crooked nasal appearance, bilateral nasal obstruction, along with concerns about her dorsal hump and droopy nasal tip appearance. From a cosmetic standpoint, her profile was deprojected, and on front view, you can see a straight nasal appearance, and there is no further droopiness of her tip. From a functional standpoint, her severely deviated and fractured nasal septum was repaired, and she also required bilateral spreader grafts to repair her internal nasal valves. You can see a straighter, less distracting, and more feminine nasal appearance. And we are all thrilled that she is allowing us to post her results.

Rhinoplasty Before & After: Nasal Profile Correction

Rhinoplasty #243

Our 16 year old student is seen 13 months following rhinoplasty surgery. She was primarily bothered by her nasal profile appearance. Her nose stuck out too far, and she had a large hump and a "tension lip deformity." A tension-lip is when there is a large anterior nasal spine that can blunt the angle between the bottom of someone's nose and lip and cause an appearance of tension. You can see a natural looking, and unoperated nasal appearance over a year after surgery, and our beautiful patient and her family are thrilled.

Rhinoplasty Before & After: Corrected Deviated Nasal Septum

Rhinoplasty #239

Our beautiful 18 year old patient is seen one year after rhinoplasty surgery for both functional and cosmetic issues. She had nasal obstruction due to a deviated nasal septum and enlarged allergic turbinates. She was also concerned by the appearance of her wide droopy tip and her profile nasal bump. Her procedure included septoplasty, turbinate reduction, and the use of an extended shield graft in her tip to achieve adequate tip projection and definition through her relatively thick oily nasal skin. At one year after surgery, you can see a less distracting more feminine, and natural looking nasal appearance. Her breathing is markedly improved as well.
