Rhinoplasty

Case # 173

Example of rhinoplasty in a female patient with relatively thick nasal skin. You can see an obvious overall improvement in her bridge and tip regions, which includes elevation of the tip and narrowing. In cases like this with thicker than average skin, there is a limitation to how much definition can be gained through rhinoplasty surgery. In cases like this, patients need to be realistic in terms of how much rhinoplasty surgery can do for them.
