Rhinoplasty - Medical Before & After Case 161

Because the nose is so easily broken, it is also one of the more common cases that plastic surgeons deal with. Rhinoplasty is the procedure that some certified plastic surgeons perform to fix the appearance and the functionality of the nose.

This Washington DC rhinoplasty patient sustained a nasal injury years previously. He complained of nasal asymmetry and congestion since the injury. He consulted many plastic surgeons and chose Dr. Chaboki, a facial plastic surgery specialist, to perform rhinoplasty.

He underwent a closed rhinoplasty and septoplasty. The nasal bones were reshaped and cartilage grafts were used to improve his nasal symmetry. The nose was not only "back to normal" in appearance, but the patient had a greatly improved nasal airway and could breath much better.
