Patient is a 61-year-old female who has long desired a more elegant and feminine appearing nose that better matched her facial features. Specifically she does not like the asymmetry of her nose and broad nasal tip on frontal view, or the over-projecting dorsum with overly prominent nostrils on profile. She wants a nose that looks softer and natural.

Rhinoplasty with septoplasty, with take down of nasal dorsum, narrowing of the nasal bones, refinement of nasal tip cartilages and placement of facial graft to the radix (the top of the nasal dorsum) to make her profile appear more elegant. Each of these incremental steps are critical to provide the beautiful nose that blends so well with her facial features.

Patient 21

Patient is a 17-year-old female who came down from Alaska for a Rhinoplasty after submitting photographs online. Specifically, she did not like her wide and asymmetric appearing nose that gave her a more masculine appearance to her otherwise feminine facial features. She disliked her low-hanging columella that became more evident upon smiling, for which she was increasingly conscious about. She yearned for a smaller, straighter, and softer appearing nose that would better complement her facial features.

Rhinoplasty with Septoplasty and straightening and reduction of her nasal septum and nasal bones along with contouring of the nasal tip through cartilage reduction and suture techniques. Her columella was reduced in order to shorten her nose and improve her nasolabial angle, evident by better visualization of her upper lip giving better proportion to her facial features.

Patient 22

Patient is a 25-year-old medical professional with a long-standing desire for a more attractive nose that would better complement her facial features. Specifically, she did not like her profile with the prominent take off below her forehead that produced a harsh appearance. She wanted to reduce her dorsal hump, and refine her bulbous nasal tip and elongated nostrils that she felt she inherited from her father. She wanted a more feminine and “perky” nasal tip that she illustrated in her pre-operative photograph research.

Patient 23

Patient is a 17-year-old female who desired a nose that appeared more feminine and more narrow with a tip that appeared less bulbous and more proportioned.

Patient 24

Patient is a 32-year-old female with a long standing desire to correct a severely deviated nose. For as long as she can remember, she has been self conscious of her crooked nose, and hated her nasal profile and weak chin. She has always dreamed of feeling more attractive, and would like to breathe better. She would have addressed these issues at an earlier age, but was always afraid of the rhinoplasty results she has seen, as she felt that they looked very odd and surgical in appearance.

Patient 28

Patient is a 24-year-old female who is active in the performing arts as an actress. For years she had considered having a rhinoplasty, but was concerned that she would lose her facial “character”. We met multiple times regarding what she desired, went over computer imaging of what I proposed, and she provided examples of noses she liked from magazines so I could decipher what she felt was attractive. We decided since she is tall (5’10”) we would not make her nose too small, just refined and straighter with removal of the large dorsal hump to improve her profile, something she has been self-conscious about since she can remember.

Patient 33

Patient is a 30 year-old female who underwent a previous rhinoplasty and was unhappy with the appearance of her nose.

She desired a model’s nose with a more elegant profile and delicate tip that better complemented and accentuated her facial features.

This patient had a classic “polybeak deformity” after her previous rhinoplasty. This is due to formation of excess scar tissue at the nasal tip, and often over reduction of cartilages without adequate support. She underwent Secondary Rhinoplasty with narrowing of nasal bones and contouring of nasal tip with placement of cartilage grafts to the mid-nasal vault, cartilage support of the nasal tip, and cartilage tip graft all from ear donor sites. Note that she now has beautiful dorsal aesthetic lines with narrower nasal bones, and a delicate model-like nasal tip that appears more feminine and refined.
