Description
This 42-year-old woman came to our practice with the desire to improve her nasal appearance. She was bothered by what she felt was a too low and flat nasal bridge, and wanted to make her nasal tip more lifted, thinner, and more feminine. These concerns are common in many patients of Hispanic, African-American, and Asian backgrounds, and usually require augmentation maneuvers common in the realm of ethnic rhinoplasty.
Our Facial Plastic Surgeon Dr. Inessa Fishman treated her with a combination of septoplasty and augmentation rhinoplasty, using cadaver rib cartilage to build up the height of her nasal bridge and support and shape her nasal tip. Out patient is shown just 4 days after surgery, and already has a beautiful and elegant result. Her nose, very swollen after surgery, shape will continue to refine and gain further definition as she continues to heal for the remainder of a year after her procedure.
