Rhinoplasty Before & After Case 271

This 17-year-old girl was unhappy with the shape of her nose so, with the permission of her parents, she began looking for a Los Angeles plastic surgeon who could subtly reshape her nose to narrow her bridge and create a perkier slope. After some consideration, she and her parents decided to contact Dr. Stoker's practice for a consultation.

During her meeting with her surgeon, she told her surgeon what made her unhappy about her nose. He discussed her options for rhinoplasty and explained how he would perform the procedure. Fortunately, the procedure produces little to no visible scarring, meaning that she would show no signs of surgery other than the new shape of her nose.

Her parents asked questions about the length of the procedure and the recovery period. Her surgeon explained that the procedure usually takes 1 to 2 hours and the recovery should take a few days before she could return to her normal activities. Together, they determined that he would refine her bulbous nasal tip and create a nice curvature on her bridge to make it look more feminine.

After her nose surgery was completed, she was given time to recover before these postoperative photos were taken. As can be seen in the images, her nose has been subtly refined to create a more delicate contour. She was absolutely thrilled with the results.
