Dorsal Hump and Full, Overprojected Tip

This Seattle rhinoplasty patient noted a long standing dissatisfaction with her nose. She was especially bothered by the bump on her bridge and rounded nasal tip which appeared disharmonious with the rest of her face. During her consultation Dr. Thomas Lamperti also identified asymmetric narrowing to the left middle third of the patient’s nose along with an overprojected nasal tip. The patient also had a low radix (the root or start of the nose between the eyes) which further exacerbated the appearance of fullness to her bridge. An open rhinoplasty approach was used to refine and deproject the patient’s tip, straighten the nose, smooth the bridge, and place a cartilage graft to the radix. The postoperative photographs represent results after 2 1/2 years.
