Dr Robert Guida, MD, New York, New York 33 Year Old Mother Treated With Nose Beauty Surgery, Septoplasty & Endoscopic Sinus Surgery
Patient wanted an overall smaller nose with elimination of the bump and “droopiness”, especially when she smiles. She felt her nose stuck out too far from her face (over-projected). Desires a straight shape to bridge as opposed to a sloped bridge. Wanted a more defined tip, less round but subtle change She desired a distinct, but subtle, change such that the rhinoplasty would provide a significant improvement in appearance, but maintain a natural look. This is a 31 year-old woman who feels her nose was over-projected, the bridge too high, and there was a convexity or bump which worsened when she smiled. She wanted the bump and convexity eliminated without overly rotating the nose upward. She also wanted a softer, more defined tip but with a subtle change. A closed approach was utilized. The bump and convexity on the bridge was eliminated and replaced with a straight smooth bridge. The tip cartilages were made less bulbous and given natural appearing definition. Her deviated septum was fixed and she can breathe better. (Sep 29, 2015)
