Patient is a 16-year-old female who has long desired a more delicate and feminine nose. She has been self-conscious about her profile as long as she can remember, and avoids having her picture taken as she dislikes her large hump and down-turned nasal tip when she smiles. She feels that her nose appears crooked and dominates her facial features.
Procedure: Septorhinoplasty with straightening of nasal bones and septum, and reduction of her large dorsal hump. The nasal tip was modified through cartilage reduction and suture techniques, and internal cartilage grafts were placed to maintain tip projection and airway competence. Photos are 6 months post-surgery and there is still considerable swelling that will diminish, decreasing the size of the nose and increasing tip definition. She was absolutely delighted with her surgical result, with a significant increase in self-confidence, and positive perception of her overall appearance.

Patient is a 19-year old female who suffered a nasal injury as a cheerleader in high school, resulting in a depression along the left nasal bones, with accompanying nasal breathing difficulties. She desires a softer, straighter nose that appears without a dorsal hump, and more delicate and perkier nasal tip. At her initial consultation I was impressed how underappreciated the patients otherwise beautiful facial features were seemingly overpowered by her masculine appearing nose. I could predict a more balanced and proportioned face that would result after an appropriately performed rhinoplasty.
Procedure: Septorhinoplasty with dorsal bump reduction and lowering of nasal radix to make the nose appear as it started lower between the eyebrows giving a softer and shorter appearance to the nasal length. The nasal bones were narrowed, with the left side being reinforced with a cartilage graft to open up and widen that particular airway. The nasal tip was
narrowed and make less bulbous and simultaneously rotated superiorly with long term support supplied through separate cartilage grafts. Her completed rhinoplasty provided much more balance to her facial features, enhancing her eyes, cheekbones, and lips. The patient was extremetly delighted with her new nose, and mentioned other people had difficulty telling her exactly what was performed to make her look so much attractive.

Patient is a 39-year-old female who had a previous rhinoplasty 10 years ago in Mexico that she has never been happy with.

Photographs are 7 months post-surgery, and she could not be happier with her results.

Patient is a 45-year-old female who had recently underwent minimally invasive surgery of the face and jawline with another surgeon, and still did not feel attractive. She wondered what I could do to make her feel beautiful. She had concerns about her “pudgy nose” that lacked angularity and definition, and the feeling that her upper eyes appeared heavy making her look too serious and tired. It was explained that her brow had in fact descended, and that she would benefit from a browlift to complement her nasal surgery.
Procedure: Septorhinoplasty with placement of a superior fascial graft to the top of the nose to soften the deep radix (the takeoff between the forehead and nose), along with softening and narrowing the nasal bones, and contouring of the nasal tip cartilages through reduction and suture techniques. Cartilage grafts were placed to increase nasal tip projection and produce angularity, and nostrils were proportionately reduced. She also underwent simultaneous Endoscopic Browlift and fat transfer to the lower eyes, midface, nasolabial creases and upper and lower lips. After these procedures the patient felt beautiful with increased self-esteem, and vigor for life, going on to lose the 20 pounds she could not lose in the past.
