GALLERY: Rhinoplasty (Case 1003)
Revision Rhinoplasty
(Airway Enhancement & Subtle Changes)
This patient underwent rhinoplasty and septoplasty by another surgeon one year prior. She stated that the goal during the first surgery was to remove a hump and to improve her breathing. However, after the rhinoplasty, her breathing worsened.
Revision rhinoplasty and septoplasty were performed in order to straighten the deviated septum, treat the collapse and retraction, and to improve the contour of her nose. The markings in red demonstrate the size of the opening within the nasal airway.
