Primary Rhinoplasty #50164

This 25-year-old patient came in with two goals: fix a chronic nasal obstruction that was affecting her breathing, and address the appearance of her dorsum, including a nasal hump she wanted lowered. The plan combined functional and cosmetic work in a single procedure. Functionally, that meant a septoplasty, turbinate resection, and nasal valve repair. The rhinoplasty portion focused on reducing the dorsal hump, smoothing the dorsal line, and making slight adjustments to tip projection and elevation. You're looking at the result 13 months after surgery, with swelling settled by then. The after photo shows a noticeably straighter dorsal line with tip deprojection.
