Ethnic Primary Rhinoplasty

This is a healthy, 28-year old female who presented for a primary rhinoplasty. Her main complaints were her bulbous, wide, and underprojected tip in addition to the width of her nose. She desired improvement in her nose while keeping her ethnicity. She underwent a primary open septorhinoplasty using rib cartilage and an alar base reduction to narrow the nostrils. Her tip was projected, refined, and rotated, and the bridge raised to create narrowness on front view. At nearly 1 year post-operative, she is thrilled with her result.
