Rhinoplasty - Cosmetic Before & After Case 337

The decision to undergo rhinoplasty is often motivated by various factors; this patient, an ambitious young professional woman sought out the procedure to improve symmetry and eliminate deviations that interfered with her breathing and restful sleep at night. She had a common yet significant goal in mind: to achieve a less crooked, more streamlined nose, without it appearing overdone. As with every patient, her natural features and lifestyle influenced the unique approach taken to meet these objectives.

Rhinoplasty is a delicate process that requires meticulous technique and careful consideration of the patient's particular needs and preferences. Given her thin skin, Dr. Chaboki chose to perform a closed rhinoplasty on this female patient - minimizing external incisions and thus, a visible scar. The inclusion of her own septum to create cartilage grafts further encouraged a natural, fitting enhancement that is ideal for her profile. A significant part of this process was ensuring the preservation of natural structures as much as possible. Additionally, her deviated septum was corrected through a septoplasty - a contributing factor to her prior sleep apnea, and the improvement therein creates a cascading positive impact on her life and career.

The transformative results of cosmetic rhinoplasty are evident in the patient's before and after photographs, showcasing a more harmonious profile and less obstructed breathing pathway. After photographs are one year after surgery. Rhinoplasty results after a few months can be seen here.
