Revision Rhinoplasty in a Female

This patient is a healthy, 47 year old who presented with a history of prior rhinoplasty. She did not like her profile, lack of tip definition, weak cartilage support, and skin irregularities. Additionally, as an avid athlete, she had a tremendous amount of difficulty breathing through her nose. It was recommended that she undergo an open, revision rhinoplasty procedure. Rib cartilage was taken and used to provide new structure for the nose. At 8 months post-operatively, she's happy with the new shape and ability to breathe comfortably at all times.
