A woman in her mid 20’s who is bothered by a dorsal hump and by fullness of the tip. She is shown before and again, 6 weeks after an open rhinoplasty. The tip will continue to improve in refinement over the next 3 years as the swelling slowly decreases and unveils the structure that we have created at her tip. She is already thrilled with her early result. She has a “weak chin” with her chin point being behind “reidel’s line”, a line drawn connecting the lips. But she has some facial asymmetry and was concerned that a chin implant might draw more attention to this.
Update: Our patient is now seen 4 months after surgery. Swelling continues to diminish and the tip has gained in refinement. Swelling in the tip will typically continue to improve for 3 years after rhinoplasty
