Primary Rhinoplasty Patient 16
Description:
This 25 year old young woman had multiple prior injuries to her nose, resulting in asymmetry and obstructed airways. Her problem was particularly difficult because there was no bump on her profile. The challenge was to give her an excellent airway and as much symmetry as possible in view of the significant deformities.
Primary Rhinoplasty Patient 17
Description:
This lady had a long-standing nasal deformity with several critical anatomical traps for the surgeon. Reduction of bridge height and tip, bracing the airway, and augmenting the upper bridge and tip have given her better proportion, symmetry, and adequate tip projection. The nose looks normal and all natural surface landmarks and contours remain. Her columella is narrow. There are no signs of surgery, which is the goal. The benefits to her self-esteem are evident in her eyes.
