This lovely young Hispanic patient in her late teens had multiple concerns with her nose, including a dorsal hump, poor tip definition, and droopy appearance to her nose (Especially when she smiles). The other thing to note here is that she has relatively thick skin, particularly on the tip of her nose which can often contribute to less definition. The approach was to create an overall more attractive shape for her nose and one that would match her ethnicity as well. To achieve that goal, we reduced the hump, shaped the tip cartilages, and created a sound structural framework for her nasal skin to adhere to and thus maximize tip definition. The result is a more refined shape of the nose that harmonizes with her other facial features and preserves her identity and femininity. And the best part is that with the techniques implemented, we’ve created a classically beautiful nose that will not only look great now but also look pretty 50 years later.
