Procedure Details

This is a healthy, 38-year old female who presented for a revision rhinoplasty. Her first procedure was performed over 15 years prior and left her with an overly-uprotated nose with too much nostril show on front view. The profile also appeared very swooped. A revision rhinoplasty using rib cartilage was performed. Her nose was counter-rotated over 20 degrees leading to an improved profile and less nostril show on frontal view. At 9 months, she's ecstatic with her natural result.
