Rhinoplasty Before & After Case 172

This 35 year old, referred to Dr. Parker by another patient, requested improvement in the appearance of her nose. She did not like her dorsal hump, bulbous tip and wide base of her nose. Dr. Parker performed an open rhinoplasty during which he reduced the bony cartilaginous hump, performed infractures to appropriately narrow the upper portion of the nose, refined the nasal tip cartilage with sutures and performed alar base resections. The patient recovered quickly afterwards. She is extremely happy with the improved, yet natural appearance of her nose.
