Rhinoplasty - Medical Before & After Case 291

Open rhinoplasty is the preferred approach of many plastic surgeons who perform rhinoplasty, which includes making an incision between the nostrils and thus leaving an external scar. Many plastic surgeons choose open rhinoplasty since it's easier to learn and perform. However, we prefer to avoid an external scar whenever possible and focus on closed rhinoplasty. Fewer surgeons are trained with this less invasive style of cosmetic rhinoplasty.

This Washington rhinoplasty patient disliked her bump and droopy tip. She has always wanted rhinoplasty to improve her profile. After consulting with Dr. Chaboki at Potomac Plastic Surgery, she was ready to move forward with plastic surgery. During consultation, he reviewed options to enhance the appearance of the nose so that it would be balanced with her other facial features. 

She underwent a closed, preservation rhinoplasty. After photographs are only a couple months after surgery, and swelling continues to resolve with time. She is thrilled with her natural results!
