Before	After


28 year old Indian male who complains of his bump and drooping nasal tip. In indian and ethnic rhinoplasty it is important to support the nasal tip with cartilage grafts. In this case, the patient’s tip was lifted and supported with a columellar strut as well as 2 tip grafts under his thick skin. The bump was reduced very conservatively and he even has a slight convexity of the bridge on postoperative profile. Indian patients are very sensitive to the scooped or very low dorsum so it is very important to create a very natural profile that is masculine. Patient is shown one year after rhinoplasty.

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.
