Nose Reshaping
Patient 5
“The standardized photographs show a nose much more in balance with her facial features.”
Primary Rhinoplasty
A small inconspicuous incision at the base of the nose is used to shape the nasal bones and cartilages. This is done under direct visualization to maximize control. Changes made in this patient included straightening the nose and smoothing out the nasal dorsum (bridge). The tip of the nose was also sculpted and refined.

All photos are taken with the same camera, lighting, facial expression, and angle. This ensures an accurate representation of the surgical result.
Patient Summary
This twenty-three-year-old patient felt that her nose was disharmonious with her other facial features. Though communication regarding her concerns and visualizing the anticipated changes that surgery would provide, an individualized plan was developed. Here she is photographed only six weeks after surgery to illustrate the early post-operative result.
Changes to the dorsum are best seen on the lateral or side view, while the frontal view shows smooth contours and a nose harmonious with adjacent facial structures. The standardized photographs show a nose much more in balance with her facial features.
