Rhinoplasty #264
Our beautiful 42-year-old patient's photos compare before, and 6 months after we performed rhinoplasty surgery. She was self-conscious about the overly wide and bulbous appearance of her nose on front view. On profile, you can see that her bulky tip cartilages were causing supratip fullness. Additionally, she had chronic nasal obstruction from refractory turbinate hypertrophy. Goals of surgery were to provide narrowing in the upper middle and lower thirds of her nose, along with refinement of her profile. Her nasal obstruction was addressed by correcting her deviated nasal septum, and by reducing her inferior turbinates that were allergic, large and obstructing.
The upper and middle thirds of her nose were narrowed with osteotomies. Her tip narrowing was achieved by dividing her lower lateral cartilages, performing a cephalic trim, and by placing a columella strut graft.
You can see a narrower nasal appearance on front view, along with Improvement in her nasal profile appearance as well. This has resulted in a less distracting, better breathing, and more feminine nasal appearance. Are grateful that she has allowed us to post her photographs.
Patient Review:
“Dr. Joseph is amazing! Highly recommend. I have been wanting to have rhinoplasty for many years and have seen different surgeons for consultations. As soon as I met with Dr. Joseph I felt comfortable and safe that everything would turn out how I've hoped. I'm 6 months post op and love the results. My nose is less distracting and very natural. Through the whole process I felt heard and could contact him with any questions or concerns. So glad I found Dr. Joseph and his amazing team. If I ever want to do anything else cosmetic I will def see them again.”
