This one is pretty impressive. I just wonder (the front view) how straight the bridge of the nose is here. It looks like her head was slightly turned for this photo.

I really like this change. I’m curious, is the difference between this change and the one for the 48 year old African American woman above more the patients preference or something else? This looks better to me, more natural, less pinched and obviously worked on. I’d like the same effect on my nose.

This change fits this person’s face well, and is in line with Dr. Rizk’s aesthetic line of a natural look. Sometimes patients request a more defined tip, even if it looks slightly unnatural. Dr. Rizk attempts to satisfy the patient wishes without compromising his natural aesthetic judgment of a natural result and this is one of the most difficult aspects of rhinoplasty. That being said, no two noses are the same and sometimes the way the nose heals may not be predictable 100percent. In looking at patient pictures on websites, you need to look at all pictures. Dr. Rizk shows many different types of noses-african american, white, asian, middle eastern, white, etc and not all heal in the perfect way but Dr. Rizk posts it anyway, even if its not a 100 percent perfect because this is the nature of rhinoplasty and to be an honest surgeon, it is important to show many different noses and results.

Patient was still swollen, swelling takes at least one year to go down. Swelling can fluctuate one from side to the other causing the nose to look a little uneven. Patient sent a picture one year later and her nose was not uneven but her head may have been slightly tilted in the picture causing it to look a little uneven.
