Description
This 63-year-old woman came to our practice interested in improving the appearance of her nose. She disliked its too large size and lack of definition at the tip. She was also bothered by the wrinkly skin texture at the nasal bridge, and a droopy, shapeless tip appearance. Our patient has very thick and oily skin, and this contributes to her nasal concerns. She came in for a customized consultation, and our Facial Plastic Surgeon Dr. Inessa Fishman recommended a surgical septorhinoplasty to improve her nasal shape and support.
Our patient is shown just 2 months after her septorhinoplasty, or nose surgery, and is already thrilled with her natural-appearing and elegant result; she says her nose surgery is “the best thing I’ve ever done for herself.” She has a noticeable improvement in her nose shape and definition, and facial balance, and shows excellent early healing. Her results will continue to improve as swelling resolves and her tissues heal fully over the next 12-18 months.
Nose surgery is an excellent treatment for help improve nasal appearance and function (breathing). Nose surgery by itself is most commonly an outpatient surgical procedure in our practice; we also commonly combine it with other facial rejuvenation treatments such as a necklift and blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery).
