Teenage Rhinoplasty San Diego

This is a great example of teenage rhinoplasty in this young, ethnic female patient who desired a nose that looked smaller and more defined overall.

Her nose was rather broad as seen from the frontal view. On her oblique and side views, you can see how the bridge height was a bit excessive with poor shape. In addition, you can see how her nasal tip was a bit ptotic – also called a droopy nasal tip.

An open rhinoplasty was performed to reduce the height of the bridge. Osteotomies were then performed to narrow the bridge. At the same time, the nasal tip was lifted slightly and narrowed to make her nose look significantly smaller.
