Rhinoplasty Before & After: Sagging Tip Correction

Rhinoplasty #242

Our beautiful patient is seen one year after rhinoplasty surgery and lower eyelid blepharoplasty surgery. When she first came to our office, she had both both functional and cosmetic issues with her nose. She had congenital external nasal valve weakness and collapse that was repaired with Lateral crural extension grafts, and a septoplasty. She did not like the droopiness of her nose or her overprojected nasal profile appearance. Additionally, she did not like the appearance of her congenital lower eyelid bags. Before the commencement of rhinoplasty surgery, her medial and middle fat pads were removed with a transconjunctival approach such that there are no external incisions. You can see a natural looking and improved appearance of her nose and lower eyelids, and she is breathing much better.

Rhinoplasty Before & After: Corrected Droopy Tip

Rhinoplasty #240

Our beautiful 30-year-old patient is seen 12 months after both functional and cosmetic rhinoplasty surgery. She had a congenital weakness of her external nasal valves preoperatively such that her nostrils would slam shut with inspiration. This was also associated with inferior turbinate enlargement. Her cosmetic issues included her bulbous droopy tip and her dorsal hump. She specifically requested a straight nasal profile without a curve. Her external nasal valves were repaired with bilateral lateral crural extension grafts that were carved from her septal cartilage. One year after surgery, you can see an unoperated nasal appearance, a straight nasal profile appearance with repair of her hanging columella, and a completely unoperated and natural nasal appearance. And she breathes better than ever!

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.

Rhinoplasty Before & After: Natural Appearance & Improved Breathing

Rhinoplasty #238

Our beautiful 45 year old patient is seen 1 year after functional and cosmetic nasal surgery. You can see a narrower, and straighter nasal appearance with tip lift, repair of her hanging columella, and hump reduction. Her results are natural looking without the stigmata of previous surgery, and her breathing has improved along with her self-esteem.
