Rhinoplasty Case 1

This patient wanted a conservative rhinoplasty and small dorsal hump reduction. On profile view she had a large hump with a small chin. After a discussion of the how to create balance with her face and nose, she elected to proceed with a medium chin implant and dorsal hump reduction. The overall effect is to lengthen the face and create harmony with the facial features. Adding the chin implant strengthened her jaw line and made her face slimmer. The post operative photos were taken at 3 weeks. While this is early and there is still swelling present, her nose will continue to improve over time as this swelling subsides. It takes up to 1 year or more for all of the swelling to fade away.
