Rhinoplasty Before & After: Corrected a Wide Nasal Tip, an Overprojected Profile, & a Dorsal Hump

Rhinoplasty #292

Our beautiful patient is seen before, and one year after functional and cosmetic rhinoplasty surgery, and she did not like her wide nasal appearance, particularly in her tip, and she also did not like her overprojected nasal profile appearance. Overprojected means that her nose simply stuck out too far, and this was associated with a dorsal hump, and droopiness with smiling. Goals were to provide a natural looking, straighter and narrower nasal appearance on front view, with profile deprojection, and hump removal on profile. This long-term results, one year after surgery, reveals a natural looking, less distracting, and more feminine nasal appearance. She also breathes better. We are thrilled that she has allowed us to post her photos.

Rhinoplasty Before & After: Five Years Following Rhinoplasty Surgery

Rhinoplasty #292

Our beautiful patient demonstrates a long-term result, before, and over 5 years after rhinoplasty surgery in our practice. As you can see from her photographs, she started with a wide and somewhat crooked nasal appearance on front view, along with an over-projected nasal profile appearance, and the nasal tip that tended to droop with smiling. She visited us because she was having some intermittent nosebleeds, and it was likely just due to the dry cold weather, and thankfully it is now spring soon! Over 5 years after surgery, you can see a smaller, less distracting, and more feminine nasal appearance, that has no stigmata of previous nasal surgery. We are extremely grateful that she has allowed us to post her photographs.

Rhinoplasty Before & After: Addressed a Hanging Columella, Nostril Asymmetry & an Overprojected Profile

Rhinoplasty #291

Our beautiful patient is seen before, and 10 months following functional and cosmetic rhinoplasty surgery in our practice. Preoperatively, she did not like the width of her nose on front view, and her nostril asymmetry on front view, especially with smiling. She was also self-conscious of her overprojected nasal profile appearance, with a dorsal hump, and a hanging columella with excess nostril show. Additionally, she had nasal obstruction that was due to a deviated nasal septum, turbinate enlargement, and weakness of her external nasal valves. Nearly a year after surgery, you can see a smaller, less distracting, and more feminine nasal appearance that is unoperated in appearance, and our patient is breathing perfectly. We are most grateful that she has allowed us to post her photos.

Rhinoplasty Before & After: Straightened a Crooked Nose Caused by a Deviated Septum

Rhinoplasty #290

Our handsome patient is seen one year following cosmetic and reconstructive nasal surgery. As you can see, he had a crooked nasal appearance, and this was associated with a severely deviated nasal septum to the left, along with chronic sinusitis. We needed to utilize an MTF profile sheet to carve a large right spreader graft, and to create a straighter nasal appearance. His long-term results demonstrates a less traumatic, and more pleasing masculine nasal appearance. We are also grateful that he is breathing better, and is not suffering from chronic sinusitis anymore either.

Rhinoplasty Before & After: Refined a Bulbous, Droopy Tip & Smoothed a Dorsal Hump while Correcting a Deviated Septum

Rhinoplasty #289

Our handsome patient is seen one year following functional and cosmetic rhinoplasty surgery. He did not like the bulbous appearance of his tip, and he also did not like his profile appearance which showed a large dorsal hump and droopiness of his tip with smiling. Additionally he had chronic nasal obstruction due to a severely deviated nasal septum, and refractory turbinate hypertrophy. We corrected his deviated nasal septum, and reduced his turbinates for a nasal Airway. You can see a narrower bridge and tip appearance on front view. On profile, you can see a less projected and less distracting masculine nasal appearance. To achieve his tip definition, we thinned his oily nasal tip skin, and we used an extended shield graft. We are grateful that he has allowed us to share his results.
