Rhinoplasty Before & After Case 744

The before photos show a prominent dorsal hump along the nasal bridge and a tip that appears to descend with movement, visible from both the profile and oblique views. Todd Hobgood M.D. performed external approach rhinoplasty to address both concerns. In an external approach, an incision is made across the columella, the narrow strip of tissue between the nostrils, giving the surgeon direct access to the nasal structures beneath the skin.

In the after photos, the bridge profile is smoother, with less projection along the dorsum. The nasal tip also appears better supported and better proportioned relative to the rest of the nose.

For those considering rhinoplasty in Scottsdale & Phoenix, this case shows how external approach rhinoplasty can address both a dorsal hump and tip support in a single procedure. Dr. Hobgood is dual board-certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and the American Board of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, and his practice at Hobgood Facial Plastic Surgery focuses exclusively on facial surgery.
