Wide nose, significant hump, and droopy tip

Ethnic rhinoplasty on wide nose, by Dr. Gerbault:

Young woman coming from the Arabic peninsula with a wide nose, a significant hump, and a droopy tip. The skin is thick as it’s usually on those type of noses.
An ultrasonic rhinoplasty has been performed to refine globally the nose and improve the tip definition. The tip support with a septal extension graft allows to lift securely the tip and to refine it.
The result is shown at one year post-op, which is the minimal time to achieve a result close to the final result.

Primary rhinoplasty on thick skin of the Maghreb type

Primary rhinoplasty on thick skin of the Maghreb type, by Dr. Gerbault:

A significative refinement of thick-skinned noses is one of the most difficult part of rhinoplasties.
One can’t directly change the skin. Therefore, structural rhinoplasty process has to be used to print on the skin, especially the tip, the desired refinement.
This is what has been performed in this case, with also a Dorsal Preservation Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty the refine the rest of the nose.
Another benefit of structural rhinoplasty is to efficiently avoid tip deformities with smiling.
The result is shown at 1 year post-op, and is the maximum refinement achievable on this type of skin.

Having long and wide nostrils with a plunging tip when smiling creates easily complex. This young woman didn’t want to change significantly her nose, but just correct those defects.
She had an ultrasonic structural rhinoplasty, with an ultrasonic rhinosculpture of her bony vault and tip reshaping with cartilaginous sutures. The alae have been also reduced.
The result is shown at 3 months postop.
