Rhinoplasty Before & After Case 742

Before surgery, this patient's nose showed a notable dorsal hump along the bridge, visible from both the profile and oblique views. The tip projected forward relative to the bridge, and the overall nasal profile drew attention away from the lower face.

Todd Hobgood M.D. performed an external approach rhinoplasty, in which incisions are made across the columella to allow direct access to the nasal structures. The case context notes dorsal lowering as the primary objective of the procedure.

In the after photos, the dorsal hump is less prominent, and the bridge follows a smoother, more gradual line from the radix to the tip. From the oblique view, the nose appears more proportionate relative to the surrounding facial features. The profile view shows a cleaner nasal silhouette along the bridge.

For those considering rhinoplasty in Scottsdale & Phoenix, this case illustrates how dorsal reduction can meaningfully alter the profile view of the nose. Dr. Hobgood performed the procedure using an external approach, as noted in the case details.
