Rhinoplasty Before & After Case 713

This patient, a woman in her 50s, decided to pursue rhinoplasty in Scottsdale & Phoenix to address long-standing concerns with the appearance of her nose. She was particularly interested in reducing fullness and flare at the base of the nose and creating a more refined, proportional nasal tip. Her goals focused on enhancing facial harmony while preserving features that reflected her natural identity.

Her procedure included an open approach rhinoplasty, alar base reduction, and precise tip refinement. Osteotomies were performed to further narrow the upper third of the nose. Initial swelling and bruising resolved over the first several weeks, revealing early improvements in shape and contour. However, rhinoplasty is a procedure with a uniquely long healing timeline. Final results typically continue to develop over the course of 2 to 5 years as residual swelling gradually subsides and the tissues fully settle. The images shown reflect this ongoing refinement, with the transformed nasal shape now balancing the lower and upper face, featuring a notably reduced alar flare and a subtly defined tip contour.
