Patient Photos

Crooked Nose and Nasal Bump Rhinoplasty

This patient consulted with Dr. Lamperti looking to improve both her chronic nasal obstruction and nasal appearance. She wanted to improve the rightward deviation, smooth the bridge hump and refine her nasal tip. Dr. Lamperti performed an open septorhinoplasty which allowed him to straighten the deviated septum while also smoothing the bridge and straightening the outside of the nose. To straighten the nose Dr. Lamperti performed controlled bone fractures (osteotomies) along with spreader grafts and clocking sutures. To refine the patient's bulbous tip Dr. Lamperti placed a right sided lateral crura strut graft which was used to flatten the very convex lower lateral crura. Cephalic trims and dome binding sutures were used to further refine both sides of the tip. In the 14 month after photos you can see how the patient's nose is straighter and has a smoother dorsal line. Her tip has improved bulbosity and is also less droopy. The patient is also excited by her much improved nasal breathing.
