Rhinoplasty - Medical Before & After Case 8

While a deviated septum or enlarged turbinates are more common causes of nasal obstruction, congestion may occur from a droopy tip blocking the entrance of the nose. The tip of the nose gradually droops with age.

This elderly woman living in downtown Washington DC had severe nasal obstruction from her droopy nasal tip. Both nostrils were blocked due to a severely droopy and collapsed nose, reducing her quality of life. She underwent finesse rhinoplasty to elevate the tip of her nose with subtle changes to her appearance. She breathes much better following her rhinoplasty, in addition to having improved nasal balance.
