Procedure Details

This is a healthy, 42-year old female who presented with nasal deformity and obstruction. She suffered a major car accident in which trauma occurred to her nose - particularly at the tip area. The recommendation was made for open septorhinoplasty to correct the deformity and improve her breathing. Her septum and nasal tip were entirely reconstructed to a more functional, harmonious state. At 10 months post-operative, she's very happy with her result.
