Graft Types: Bilateral Spreader, Columellar Strut, Sub-Domal, Bilateral Alar Rim

Patient Story: This patient is woman from Central Texas with the primary cosmetic concern being her significant dorsal hump. The narrowness of her bridge and its projection was problematic and had negative ramifications in the appearance of the remainder of her face. For example in the pre-operative photographs one sees that her eyes appear to be too close together. She underwent a rhinoplasty with normalization of her dorsal height and width. The pre-operative “closeness” of her eyes is an optical illusion of sorts that appears to be “undone” when a well-executed advanced rhinoplasty is performed. This is another example of the fact that the nose is the aesthetic bulls-eye of the face. Its appearance affects the appearance of all of the other facial features.

Description:

Immediate follow up (one week) for rhinoplasty with rib graft for saddle nose deformity caused by Wegner’s Granulomatosis.

Wegner’s Granulomatosis is a inflammatory disorder of blood vessels and surrounding tissue. It often results in severe tissue damage leading to collapse of nasal structures.

Description:

Long term follow up (greater than one year) for rhinoplasty to reduce hump on profile view and and straighten nose in the front view.

Description:

About 7 months following rhinoplasty and chin augmentation with implant.
Notice how on the front view the chin implant provides more support for the lower lip and her mouth. Rhinoplasty surgery (nose job) is often combined with other procedures to improve overall facial balance. These additional procedures include chin augmentation (chin implant), chin reduction (genioplasty), eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), fat grafting, brow-lift, neck liposuction, and buccal fat reduction.

Description:

7 week followup from rhinoplasty. Technique- open with ligament preservation and restoration. Combined with procedures to improve breathing. Scientific studies show that even at 3 months there is still 40% of the total swelling to resolve. So we know that this result will get even better with time.
