Rhinoplasty Patient 11
This patient presented to Dr. Bhama with a chief complaint of nasal obstruction. She desired septorhinoplasty with a natural, pleasant appearance. On pre-op photos, notice the dorsal hump. Dr. Bhama performed septorhinoplasty surgery, which went well. Early post-operative photos are shown, demonstrating an improvement in her dorsal hump with an overall stable aesthetic appearance. She was very happy with cosmetic results and the improvement in her nasal breathing. The scar will continue to fade with time.
Rhinoplasty Patient 12
This patient presented to Dr. Bhama with difficulty breathing through her nose. Options were discussed and she elected for septorhinoplasty. Dr. Bhama performed surgery using multiple techniques including septoplasty, spreader grafts, caudal septal extension graft, tongue in groove, dome narrowing sutures, and a pedestal narrowing suture. Surgery went well and the patient was able to breathe much better through her nose afterwards. She was very happy with the cosmetic result. Her scar will continue to fade with time.
Rhinoplasty Patient 13
This patient was referred to Dr. Bhama for nasal obstruction. Options were discussed and the patient elected for septorhinoplasty. On pre-op photos, notice the deviation of the nasal dorsum to the left. Dr. Bhama performed septorhinoplasty with osteotomies and used multiple techniques including spreader grafts, tongue in groove, and more. Post-operative photos are shown. The patient was very happy with breathing and cosmetic results. On frontal view, notice the straighter appearance of the dorsum.
Rhinoplasty Patient 14
This patient presented to Dr. Bhama with a chief complaint of nasal obstruction as well as a nasal deformity. She desired reduction in her dorsal hump as well as refinement of the nasal tip. She wanted a natural look and did not want to look ” done.” Additionally, she had a forehead lesion on the left side which she wanted to have removed. Options were discussed and she elected for dual cosmetic functional septorhinoplasty and excision of the brow lesion with facial nerve monitoring. Dr. Bhama performed rhinoplasty, cosmetic and functional along with septoplasty as well as nasal valve repair. Additionally, brow lesion excision with facial nerve monitoring was performed, which required careful dissection of the forehead lesion off of the facial nerve. 3-week postoperative photos are shown demonstrating a dramatic improvement in her nasal aesthetic. She was very happy with the results and was able to breathe much better through her nose. Additionally, her bowel function was completely intact.
Rhinoplasty Patient 15
This patient was referred to Dr. Bhama by another ENT (Otolaryngologist – Head and Neck Surgeon). Her main concern was difficulty breathing through her nose. She also desired refinement of the nasal dorsum (reduction of her dorsal hump) and felt like her tip was droopy. On pre-operative frontal view, notice the ptotic nasal tip. On profile view, she has a subtle dorsal hump and a slightly ptotic nasal tip. Options were discussed and she elected for rhinoplasty surgery with septoplasty and turbinate reduction. It was very important to her to have a natural appearing, subtle improvement. Dr. Bhama performed septorhinoplasty using multiple techniques including spreader grafting, suture techniques, cephalic turn-in flaps, and more. Early post-operative photos are shown. On frontal view and profile views, notice improvement in tip rotation. Profile view also demonstrates softening of the dorsum. She has a very natural appearing result and was very happy with cosmetic and functional results of surgery.
Rhinoplasty Patient 16
This patient presented to Dr. Bhama with complaints of difficulty breathing through her nose. On pre-operative frontal view notice the excess nostril show. On profile view she has a slight dorsal hump, and an obtuse nasolabial angle (over-rotated tip). Dr. Bhama performed septorhinoplasty using multiple techniques including hump reduction, extended spreader grafts and caudal septal extension graft to de-rotate the tip. Post-operatively, she is very happy with her nasal breathing. On frontal view, notice the improvement in her nostril show. On profile view, notice the improved nasolabial angle and smoother dorsal contour.
Rhinoplasty Patient 17
This patient was referred to Dr. Bhama for nasal obstruction. On pre-operative photos, notice the deviation of the dorsum to the right. Profile view demonstrates a large dorsal hump and a tension nose deformity. Options were discussed and the patient elected for septorhinoplasty. Dr. Bhama performed complex septorhinoplasty using multiple techniques including dorsal hump reduction, spreader grafts, caudal septal extension graft, radix graft, tongue in groove, and auricular cartilage grafting. Five week post-operative photos are shown demonstrating an excellent cosmetic result. The nose is straighter, and his dorsal hump is less prominent. The tension nose deformity has been corrected. He was very pleased with the cosmetic result, and his nasal breathing was dramatically improved. His swelling will continue to improve with time.
Rhinoplasty Patient 18
This patient presented to Dr. Bhama with a chief complaint of nasal obstruction. She also desired straightening of the dorsum. On pre-op base view, notice the severe rightward septal deviation and deviation of the nasal tip. Pre-op frontal view demonstrates deviation of the tip to the left side and concavity of the left side of the nose. Options were discussed and she elected for septorhinoplasty. Early post-op pics are shown demonstrating a substantial improvement in her dorsal lines, as well as improvement in septal deviation on base view. Notice the improved contour on profile view. Her tip has also been deprojected (derotated). She was very happy with results cosmetically and with her nasal breathing. The scar will continue to fade with time.
Rhinoplasty Patient 19
This patient presented to Dr. Bhama with a chief complaint of nasal obstruction. She did not desire any cosmetic changes to her nose. It was important to her to have a natural, not “done” look. On exam, she was found to have nasal valve collapse and septal deviation. Options were discussed and she elected for functional septorhinoplasty and turbinate reduction. Dr. Bhama performed surgery, which went well. Post-operative photos are shown demonstrating a preservation in her nasal aesthetic. The red discoloration of her nose is unrelated to the surgery. She was very happy with results of surgery.
