Rhinoplasty Before & After Case 730

This patient sought out rhinoplasty in Scottsdale & Phoenix to address concerns related to their nasal contour and function. Preoperatively, the patient presented with dorsal elevation, subtle tip ptosis, and a profile that did not align with their goals for facial balance. Motivated by a desire for a refined nasal appearance without overcorrection, the patient discussed specific outcomes, including dorsal reduction to a conservative supratip breakpoint and improved tip definition.

The procedure was performed using an open rhinoplasty approach. Techniques included septal cartilage harvest and grafting, straightening of the septum, placement of a columellar strut graft, and detailed maneuvers such as cephalic trim and double dome sutures to maximize tip definition. Postoperative results demonstrate meaningful refinements: a reduction in dorsal elevation, improved nasal alignment, and a tip position that enhances overall harmony with the patient’s facial features.

Recovery progressed without complication. The patient reported satisfaction with both the functional and aesthetic improvements achieved. Final outcomes align with the preoperative goals, providing a more balanced nasal contour while maintaining facial individuality.
