Rhinoplasty Before & After Case 273

After a member of her family had a similar operation, this 33-year-old woman decided to explore nose surgery. Concerned about the prominence of her nose and the way it curved downward, she wanted to find an experienced Los Angeles nose surgery specialist who could help her achieve optimal results.

After some consideration, she scheduled a consultation with board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Stoker to discuss her options for rhinoplasty. When she met with her surgeon, he explained that he would reshape the cartilage inside her nose to create a gradual slope that enhanced rather than distracted from her striking facial features. The procedure would take 1 to 2 hours to complete, and she would be able to return home shortly after surgery to recover in the comfort of her own home.

Once her surgery was completed, her surgeon placed gauze inside her nose and support stints on the outside to preserve the new shape of her nose. She was given time to recover before returning to have her "after" photos taken. As the photos show, her profile has been radically transformed; her nose now looks natural and balanced rather than detracting from her other beautiful features. She was very happy with the results.
