Case: 54814
Category: Nose Job (Rhinoplasty)
Gender: Male
Skin Tone: Fair
Description:

This gentleman had prior surgery in another country 8 years ago and now presented with severe nasal obstruction causing sleep difficulties.  He underwent revision nasal surgery primarily to improve his nasal breathing.  However, this case shows how closely linked cosmetic and functional problems can be.

Details:

Notice before revision surgery, the middle portion of the patient’s right side of the nose is collapsed and the patient’s right tip of the nose is droopier than the left. In the post-op photo, the right nose collapse has been filled in and the tip is more symmetric.
The patient did not have any desire to make any significant changes to the profile. The nose after surgery is less pointy.
On the base view, note the improvement in the tip of the nose, now more symmetric, and the middle of the nose (columella) is straighter.

Case: 54816
Category: Nose Job (Rhinoplasty)
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Skin Tone: Fair
Description:

This young woman underwent cosmetic rhinoplasty to make her nose smaller and also underwent functional nasal surgery (septoplasty and inferior turbinate reduction).

Details:

The frontal view shows narrowing of the nose both on the top portion (dorsum) and tip of the nose.
This 3/4 view shows a significant reduction in the bump on the bridge of the nose.
The lateral view again shows a decrease in the hump on the dorsum of the nose, in general makes the nose appear smaller. Also note the improvement in the way the chin appears in relationship to the nose and rest of the face without doing any chin surgery.
The base view shows refinement in the tip area without making it appear overly “pointy.” She is 3 months from surgery and the incision under the tip of nose is healing well. In a few more months it should be barely visible.
