History: This 22-year-old patient was concerned about the hump on her nose as well as her broad tip. She wanted a more refined tip but did not want to lose any projection because she has a prominent chin.
Treatment: A primary rhinoplasty removed the hump and refined her nasal tip.
Aesthetic nasal surgery, or rhinoplasty, involves reshaping the nose to improve its appearance. Typical steps include removing a nasal hump, reducing an enlarged tip or improving a poor angle between the nose and the upper lip. Reconstructive rhinoplasty is performed to correct birth defects and disfigurement resulting from injury. It may also be done in conjunction with techniques to relieve nasal obstruction due to an internal deformity such as a deviated septum. (The septum is the partition between the right and left nasal airways.)
