Rhinoplasty Before & After Case 293

This 32-year-old woman found it difficult to breathe out of her nose and didn't like its size or shape. Wanting to improve the look and function of her nose, she decided to research rhinoplasty to find a qualified and talented surgeon.

When she came in for her initial consultation, she explained to her surgeon that she wanted to soften the tip of her nose in addition to reducing the size of her nose and improving her breathing. To address her cosmetic concerns, her surgeon recommended that she undergo rhinoplasty. To improve breathing, a septoplasty would be performed and she would have spreader grafts and turbinate surgery. The combination of these would address all of her concerns.

Six weeks after her surgery, her "after" photos were taken to show the results of her surgery. Although not visible in the photos, she reported that her breathing improved dramatically. As you can see in her photos, the shape of her nose has changed as well; her nose slopes gradually downward and protrudes less than before. She is very happy with the results of her surgery.
