Rhinoplasty Before & After Case 708

This patient, a woman in her 40s, came to Dr. Todd Hobgood for rhinoplasty in Scottsdale to address a pronounced dorsal hump that disrupted the balance of her facial features. Her goal was a smoother, more refined nasal bridge that brought her profile into harmony with the rest of her face while keeping her appearance natural and unmistakably her own.

Dr. Hobgood, a dual board-certified facial plastic surgeon with more than 20 years of experience and over 5,000 rhinoplasties performed, used open structural rhinoplasty with a tongue-in-groove technique and a conservative dorsal takedown to a supratip breakpoint. This approach allowed for precise reshaping of the bridge while preserving long-term structural support and stability. Dr. Hobgood personally performs every key surgical step.

The before and after photos show a straighter, smoother dorsal profile that integrates naturally with her facial proportions, with subtle refinement that continues to evolve through the recovery process. The result reflects Dr. Hobgood's structural philosophy of prioritizing stability, balance, and outcomes that fit the patient's unique features, the kind of refined, natural-looking rhinoplasty work he is known for in Scottsdale and the greater Phoenix area.
