This patient is a 20 year-old female who had long desired a more feminine nose that appeared to better fit her facial features. She disliked her prominent nasal hump and wanted her nasal tip to appear softer and more elegant. She was bothered by her small chin and was reminded of her long standing dislike of her side profile when she saw photographs of herself. She had dreamed of a smaller nose that appeared natural and a more proportioned chin and jawline that balanced and accentuated her natural facial features.

Rhinoplasty/Septoplasty with placement of both fascial and cartilage grafts, and chin augmentation. A fascial graft harvested from beneath the patient’s scalp was placed at the top of the nose beneath the eyebrows to soften the takeoff between forehead and nose which serves to make the nose appear shorter and more feminine. The large dorsal hump was removed, and nasal tip cartilages were softened and defined through both reduction and suture techniques. Tip projection was supported with cartilage grafts while the lines of the nose (dorsal aesthetic lines) were recreated giving the nose a better flow and very natural appearance. Lastly, the chin was augmented with placement of a large extended anatomic chin implant that provides volume to the chin and jawline imparting balance to the entire face. She was delighted with her surgical result, and her self-esteem was exponentially increased. Photos were taken only 4 weeks after surgery with still significant nasal tip swelling that will diminish greatly over the next year.

Patient 1

Patient is a 16-year-old female with a long-standing desire to have a more attractive nose and stronger, more balanced profile. She was self-conscious of her nose, and this combined with the weakness of her chin had made her shy. She wanted to have a prettier and feminine nose that better balanced and complemented her other features.

Rhinoplasty with Septoplasty with reduction of nasal bump and refinement of nasal tip utilizing reduction and suture techniques. A fascial graft was placed at her radix (area at top of nose beneath eyebrows) to soften the transition between her forehead and nose giving the illusion of actually shortening the entire nasal profile. She also underwent chin augmentation with placement of a medium extended anatomic implant. She is delighted with her surgical results, and the transformational improvement in her confidence and poise are absolutely astonishing.

Patient 2

Patient is a 64-year-old female who desires a younger and more attractive face. She feels that her facial aging has mostly affected her jawline and chin, and has developed jowls that make her weak chin more obvious. Since menopause, she has developed progressive laxity of her neck, and feels that she is looking quite matronly. She would like to appear as young as she feels, without tell-tale signs of surgery.

Patient 3

Patient is a 15-year-old female who since she can remember has been very self-conscious of her nose and felt that it is too large and hooked, and without any specific shape at its tip. She would avoid photographs whenever she could, and lacked the self-confidence of her peers. She desired a more proportionate nose that better complemented her facial features and made her feel pretty.
