VIBE Plastic Surgery Non-Implant Rhinoplasty
This case details a non-implant rhinoplasty for a woman in her 30s to correct a droopy, blunt, and masculine-looking nose, achieving a feminine, refined profile.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 30s
# Droopy and blunt nasal tip
# Overall large and masculine-looking nose
* Consultation
1. The patient wanted to address her nose, which appeared large and had strong lines, giving a masculine impression. We planned to create a more feminine look using a semi-straight nasal bridge line.
2. It was determined that her nasal bridge was sufficiently high, making it unnecessary to use an implant. Therefore, a non-implant rhinoplasty was planned.
* Plan
1. Nasal Bridge Augmentation
- Hump reduction
- Osteotomy
- Non-implant
2. Nasal Tip Augmentation
- Septal cartilage: Septal extension graft
- Correction of bulbous and long nose
* Post-operative Progress
1. The post-operative result achieved a natural yet defined nasal tip.
2. The correction of the dorsal hump resulted in a feminine and sophisticated nose, which was very satisfying.
3. When the nasal bridge is sufficiently high, a natural nasal line can be created without using an implant.
Consultation and surgery should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!
