Rhinoplasty Before & After Case 731

This patient sought rhinoplasty in Scottsdale & Phoenix to address a prominent, bulbous nasal tip and a very narrow middle third. Their main motivation was to refine the tip, soften the appearance created by firm lower lateral cartilages, and achieve better balance with the rest of their facial features. They requested a natural result that would diminish the sharpness and prominence of the lower nasal area while maintaining their individual appearance.

During the procedure, Dr. Todd Hobgood used precise standing sutures to reshape and support the tip, followed by additional tip definition sutures to further refine the contour. To soften the transition, an MTF collagen onlay graft was placed, reducing the visibility of the underlying cartilages and creating a smoother, more natural nasal outline.

The outcome for this patient was a nasal tip that appears less bulbous and more refined, aligning with their goals. The final result supports facial harmony and a balanced profile while avoiding any overt signs of surgical correction. The improvements are visible in the before and after images, with notable yet subtle changes that maintain the patient’s unique features.
