This young woman is shown 6 weeks after a Rhinoplasty and Septoplasty. Her dorsal hump was improved and her nasal tip was refined – specifically, her tip was narrowed and elevated to prevent it from drooping while smiling. Significant cartilage grafting was performed to not only improve her breathing but to help provide long-term stability and structure to the nose, and maintain its appearance long term… Approximately 85% of the swelling has gone down at this point, and the remainder may take up to a year… My overall goal is to create a customized yet natural result that maintains harmony and symmetry with the rest of the face.
