Description:
Before and after: woman in her early 40s, 12 months after surgery.
Rhinoplasty to refine the shape of the nose while keeping it balanced with the rest of the face.
What we did. We reduced the dorsal hump, rotated the tip upwards slightly, reduced the nasal base width and the nasal dorsum width, refined the tip, and added tip projection. This was performed in an open approach.
What rhinoplasty can change. The nose sits at the center of the face, so small changes to the bridge, the tip or the profile can change how the whole face reads. The goal is a nose that looks natural from every angle and still looks like you.
Why the side view comes first. The lateral view shows the bridge line, the tip and the angle between the nose and the upper lip better than any other photo, so it leads this gallery. The front and oblique views follow to show how the nose sits within the face.
Healing takes time. Swelling in the nose goes down slowly and the final shape keeps refining over the first year, which is why these photos were taken 12 months after surgery.
Individual results vary. These photos show one patient’s outcome and are not a guarantee of results.
