Primary

In this patient, both the tip and the dorsum are asymmetric and deviated, and the cartilages are visible through the thin skin. In the profile view, the radix is depressed and the tip is inadequately supported. It is evident that in this case a “standard” rhinoplasty consisting of dorsal hump removal and surgical osteotomies would be entirely insufficient. Instead, this requires a meticulous structural rhinoseptoplasty, redistributing elements removed from areas of excess and adding cartilage and fascia grafts where needed. The open approach is indispensable in this sense, given the optimal visualization it provides and the ability to position thin, invisible grafts beneath the skin exactly where required. The procedure is certainly longer and considerably more sophisticated, yet the blood loss is virtually negligible. Postoperative pain is absent, and the results remain stable over time.

The deviation and the disproportionality/asymmetry of the tip were corrected.
The tip was triangularized, and the base of the columella was narrowed.
The two “domes” of the alar cartilages were symmetrized and harmonized using grafts harvested from the upper portion of the same cartilages.
In the three-quarter view, the improvement in proportions among the radix, dorsum, and tip is evident.
The profile has been refined in a manner appropriate for a male nose that must appear natural.
In the superior view, the deviation is corrected.
Appearance at two weeks, after final removal of the steristrips.
