Rhinoplasty Before & After Case 324

This 18-year-old woman was unhappy with the large bump on her nose. She didn't like the way her face looked when viewed from the side and thought her nose looked too pronounced. She knew that there were several options for plastic surgery and wanted to talk to an expert, so she contacted Dr. Stoker's practice.

When she met with her surgeon, she explained that the hump on her nose made her feel self-conscious but that she didn't want to drastically change her appearance. He assured her that rhinoplasty was an excellent solution and would allow her to retain the general length and position of her nose while reducing the large dorsal hump. He suggested a "closed" method of surgery so that the incisions would be hidden inside the nose.

Within six weeks, her post-operative photos reveal that the surgery was a great success. The surgeon removed the hump and reshaped the nose so that it has a smooth, gentle slope. There is no bruising or visible scarring and she is very happy she chose Dr. Stoker's practice.
