Rhinoplasty Before & After Case 707

This patient, a woman in her 20s, came to Dr. Todd Hobgood for rhinoplasty in Scottsdale to address a prominent dorsal hump and a deviated septum that affected both the appearance and function of her nose. Her goals were to bring her nasal profile into better balance with her facial proportions, breathe more comfortably, and feel more confident in everyday interactions.

Dr. Hobgood, a dual board-certified facial plastic surgeon with more than 20 years of experience and over 5,000 rhinoplasties performed, used an open rhinoplasty approach to fully access and address her underlying nasal structures. The procedure included dorsal hump reduction, nasal osteotomies to straighten and refine the bridge, septal correction to improve airflow, and a columella strut graft to provide long-term tip support. Dr. Hobgood personally performs every key surgical step.

The before and after photos show a straighter, more harmonious nasal profile and improved overall symmetry, with results that suit her natural features rather than overpower them. The patient also reports easier breathing following recovery. Outcomes like this reflect the precise technique and individualized planning that define Dr. Hobgood's functional and aesthetic rhinoplasty work in Scottsdale and the greater Phoenix area.
