Patient is a 44-year-old female with a long-standing dissatisfaction of her nasal appearance, having been very self-conscious about having her photo taken. She realizes that her nose is a “family trait”, present in her father and one of her brothers. She disliked how overly-projecting her nose appears, and hates her bulbous split tip and hanging columella that always show up in photographs. She would like a nose that appears smaller, more feminine, and better complements her facial features without looking obviously altered.

Patient 41

Patient is a 22-year-old female who has a long-standing desire to improve the appearance of her nose.

She desires a softer more elegant appearing nose that enhances her facial features, without looking operated on.
