GALLERY: (Case 1002)

This patient was trampled by horse and injured her nose approximately a decade prior. Her main concern was nasal obstruction that was so severe that it forced her to breathe through her mouth. In addition to wanting to improve her breathing, she desired to straighten her nose while maintaining her natural appearance. Dr. Foulad performed functional rhinoplasty with septoplasty using an open approach to straighten the septum and nose. A portion of the cartilage that was removed from the septum was used as a caudal septal extension graft in order to provide support for the tip of the nose.
