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.
Ethnic rhinoplasty on thick nasal skin
- To have a thick skin , a wide tip lacking definition with very weak cartilages lacking support: it’s a difficult situation to achieve a good result in nose aesthetic surgery.
- For this patient, there’s also an alar cartilage malposition, increasing the bulbous appearance of the tip. It even worsens when the patient smiles ecause of the lack of tip support.
- In this case, a highly structural rhinoplasty reinforcing all the parts of the nose with cartilaginous grafts is the only way to significantly refine the whole nose. It’s combined with n ultrasonic rhinosculpture to refine the bony vault.
- The result is still early at 3 months post op, and the nose will keep on refining in the next months.
Too wide and too massive nose
- Young woman was desperate because of her too wide nose, massive and lacking definition, that was a daily complex for her.
- Structural ultrasonic rhinoplasty.
- Piezo reshaping of her bony vault.
- Refinement of the cartilaginous part of her nose with the new cartilaginous tensioning techniques, and tip projection and support with support grafts and cartilaginous sutures.
- The result is at one year post-op, with an overall refined nose, that brightens and refines the whole face.
