Hispanic Rhinoplasty
Primary rhinoplasty for patients seeking refinements to his nose. He was seeking to elevate the tip and reduce the width of the tip.
3 months post-op result.
Primary ethnic rhinoplasty for a female Hispanic patient who was bothered by the appearance of her slight bump on the profile and the droopy appearance of her tip. From the front she was bothered by the size of her tip and the flare of her nostrils. Primary rhinoplasty techniques included an ultrasonic rhinoplasty hump reduction, tip support and elevation, and flare reductions with nasal sill reductions.
Results shown are 2 months post-op.
Before and after rhinoplasty for a Hispanic female with concerns about the width of her bridge and tip. Refinements included tip and bridge support with ear cartilage, avoiding the use of implants in the nose.
Female patient of Asian descent who desired more bridge and tip definition. Primary rhinoplasty techniques included dorsal augmentation, tip grafting, and alar base reductions.
Hispanic female patient seeking to refine the appearance of her nose. She was bothered by the flare of her nostrils, the droopiness of her tip, and the bump on her profile. Primary rhinoplasty techniques included nostril flare reduction, tip support with caudal septal extension graft, tip graft, osteotomies, hump reduction, and soft tissue radix graft. Shown are her 1 year post-operative results.
Challenging case of a female, Hispanic patient with thick nasal skin and very low nasal bridge. In order to create more refinements to her nose, dorsal augmentation was performed using ear cartilage graft to avoid the use of an artificial nasal implant. Tip graft was utilized to support and refine the nasal tip. To create narrowing to the front of the nose in patients with thick skin, projection needs to be undertaken on the profile of the nose.
Female patient seeking refinement to her nose. She was most bothered by the appearance of the profile of her nose. Primary rhinoplasty techniques utilized included bilateral osteotomies, hump reduction, soft tissue radix augmentation, caudal septal extension graft, tip de-fatting, and tip onlay graft.
Female, Hispanic patient who desired to refine her nose by straightening the nose, refining the tip, and reducing the hump on the profile view. Primary rhinoplasty techniques included bilateral osteotomies, tip nasal skin de-fatting techniques, bilateral spreader grafts, septoplasty, caudal septal extension graft, and tip onlay graft.
Female who desired nasal refinements to her bridge and tip. Her goals were narrowing of the bridge on the frontal view and refinement to the tip on the frontal view. On her profile she desired to reduce the hump and the droopy tip. Open rhinoplasty techniques included osteotomies, bilateral spreader grafts, hump reduction, caudal septal extension graft, and tip onlay grafts.
Challenging case of Hispanic rhinoplasty of a patient with very thick nasal skin and a wide nose. Primary rhinoplasty techniques included bilateral osteotomies, defatting of the nasal skin, tip onlay grafts, and alar flare reduction incisions. Techniques performed to provide for narrowing of the nose while preserving a natural appearing outcome. Alar flare reductions allow for the narrowing and the thinning of the base of the nose while maintaining the nostril size the same. In this case, her nostril size were small but the nasal flare was wide.
Before and after primary rhinoplasty for a patient who desired to reduce the length of her profile and refine her tip. She desired to reduce her hump and the droopy appearance of her tip on the profile view. Primary rhinoplasty techniques included hump reduction, bilateral osteotomies, bilateral spreader grafts, septal extension graft, and alar rim grafts. The columella was lengthened to improve the tip angle and the relationship between the alae and the columella. Prior to surgery she had what is referred to as a “hidden columella” where the nostrils hang below the level of the columella on the profile view. By lengthening the columella, the relation of the columella and the nostrils is improved which also addresses her concern of a droopy tip.
Seen here are her 10 month follow up photos.
Female patient whose primary goal was to address her profile view. She desired to reduce her hump and expressed her preference to be a slight slope to the bridge on the profile. She desired minimal refinements to the frontal view. Primary rhinoplasty techniques included hump reduction, bilateral osteotomies, bilateral spreader grafts, caudal septal extension graft and tip onlay graft.
Female patient thicker nasal skin and wide tip who desires tip refinement. Open rhinoplasty techniques included nasal tip skin de-fatting, caudal septal extension graft, tip onlay grafts, and alar flare reductions. Base view shown to demonstrate the healing from the columellar incision and nasal base reduction incisions. 6 months post-operative results shown.
Before and after primary rhinoplasty for wide nose with bulbous tip and crooked appearance to the right side. Primary rhinoplasty included osteotomies and bilateral spreader grafts with a “push/ pull” technique to help with the straightening of the nose. Crushed cartilage tip graft for tip refinement.
Patient with concerns of a droopy tip, hanging columella, and hump. Primary rhinoplasty techniques included hump reduction, osteotomies, caudal septal extension graft and tip onlay graft.
