Before	After


32 year old female complains of nasal bump and crooked nose to left as well as bulbous nasal tip. Patient also had difficulty breathing through the nose secondary to a deviated nasal septum. Patient is shown 4 months after septoplasty and rhinoplasty with bump reduction, tip support grafts, as well as spreader graft in right middle vault to correct a right sided middle vault collapse. Patient is still swollen in the tip but the nose looks straighter and more defined. The bump is reduced conservatively. Dr. Sam Rizk likes a strong bridge, not a scooped one and customizes the nose to the patients’ other features. Some profiles may be lower in some patients than others, depending on facial proportions and harmony.
