Patient Profile:

  • Gender: Female
  • Age: 28
  • Primary Concerns: Low nasal tip, wide nasal tip, dorsal hump, and difficulty breathing.

Initial Assessment: The patient presented with multiple concerns regarding her nasal structure and function:

  • A low nasal tip creating a droopy appearance.
  • A wide nasal tip that did not harmonize with the rest of her facial features.
  • A prominent dorsal hump on the nasal bridge.
  • Low radix (the root of the nose between the eyes).
  • Chronic nasal obstruction leading to difficulty breathing, particularly during sleep and physical activity.

Surgical Plan: After a thorough evaluation and 3D imaging, a customized surgical plan was developed to address both functional and aesthetic concerns. The goals included:

  1. Raising the nasal tip for a more refined and proportional appearance.
  2. Narrowing the wide nasal tip to achieve better facial balance.
  3. Correcting the dorsal hump to create a smoother nasal profile.
  4. Augmenting the radix for a balanced transition between the forehead and nose.
  5. Correcting structural issues contributing to breathing problems.

Surgical Procedure: The rhinoplasty was performed under general anesthesia and involved the following steps:

  • Nasal Tip Reshaping: Cartilage grafting and suturing techniques were used to lift and narrow the nasal tip, ensuring stability and a natural result.
  • Dorsal Hump Reduction: Precise osteotomies were performed to remove the hump and smooth the nasal bridge.
  • Radix Augmentation: A cartilage graft was placed to elevate the radix, enhancing the overall profile.
  • Functional Corrections: Septoplasty and turbinate reduction were carried out to address the patient’s nasal obstruction, significantly improving airflow.
