Rhinoplasty | Case Details
This young woman is shown 6 weeks after a Rhinoplasty to reduce her dorsal hump and refine her nasal tip, in addition to a Septoplasty to improve her breathing. An immediate postoperative photo in the OR is also shown and provided to patients to allow them to get a sense of what the nose will look like once all the swelling has subsided... 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 the 6 week 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.
Weeks between operation and 'after' photos: 6
