An early ( 6 week) result on a woman in her late 30’s who was bothered by the appearance of her nose as well as by difficulty breathing. She had a severely deviated septum as well as obstruction of the “internal valve” of the nose ( the kind of obstruction that is improved with BreathRite strips) Because of this obstruction she would snore at night and wake up with a dry mouth in the morning. She also felt that her nose was too large for her face and was crooked.
She is shown before and again, 6 weeks after an open rhinoplasty with septoplasty and bilateral spreader graft placement. Her chin is slightly “weak” and her facial balance could be improved further with a chin implant but she elected not to have this done at this time.
The postoperative photos show that the nose is much straighter in appearance and the tip has more refinement. The tip shape will typically continue to improve over the next 3 years as the swelling slowly resolves. She is already thrilled with her early result, and her breathing is dramatically better.
