Rhinoplasty Patient 41
This gentleman has a history of nasal injury in the past resulting in a nasal deformity and nasal obstruction. On pre-operative frontal view, note deviation of the dorsum to the patient’s right side. On base view, he has obviously asymmetric nostrils with narrowing of the external nasal valve on the left side. The patient wanted to maintain the overall appearance of his nose. Dr. Bhama performed rhinoplasty, septoplasty and inferior turbinate reduction. Several techniques were used including clocking sutures, spreader grafting, pedestal narrowing, and a columellar strut. Post-operatively, he was very happy with his result. He is breathing much better. Notice the straighter dorsum on frontal view, and more symmetric nostrils on base view. His overall nasal appearance has been maintained as he desired.
Rhinoplasty Patient 42
This young lady presented to Dr. Bhama complaining of nasal obstruction. She had broken her nose in the past. She wanted her nose to be symmetric, but otherwise did not want a major change in the appearance of her nose, and desired a non-operated look. On pre-operative frontal view, notice the very narrow middle vault and deviation of the nose to the left side. She also has a suggestion of an inverted-V deformity. On pre-op base view, deviation of the tip to the left is obvious. Profile view reveals a “scooped out” appearance to the nose. She underwent rhinoplasty with auricular cartilage graft and osteotomies. Post-operative, she noticed substantial improvement in her nasal breathing. She was pleased with the aesthetic changes. On frontal view post-op, notice improvement in her dorsal lines. On base view, the scar is minimally noticeable, and there is excellent correction of the tip asymmetry. Profile view demonstrates substantial improvement in her “scooped” appearance.” She is also finds that she is able to use glasses more easily since her bridge is now stronger.
Rhinoplasty Patient 43
Septorhinoplasty, caudal septal extension grafts, tip refinement, straightening of dorsum, auricular cartilage grafting.
Rhinoplasty Patient 44
This patient presented to Dr. Bhama with severe nasal obstruction. On pre-operative base view, notice the collapse of the left and deviation of the columella and medial crus. On frontal and profile view, note the droopiness of the nasal tip. He underwent complex septorhinoplasty with Dr. Bhama using multiple techniques including extracorporeal septoplasty, use of costal cartilage grafting, extended spreader grafts, and more. Post-operatively, notice the improvement in nostril symmetry. Additionally, notice the improvement in tip rotation and reduction in droopiness of the tip on profile view. The patient was very happy with results from a breathing and cosmetic standpoint.
Rhinoplasty Patient 45
This patient presented to Dr. Bhama with severe nasal obstruction and a history of sleep apnea. She had consulted with other surgeons previously. She did not wish to have a major change to the appearance of her nose. Dr. Bhama performed septorhinoplasty using multiple techniques including spreader grafts, dome defining sutures, columellar strut, and flaring sutures. Turbinate reduction was performed at the same time. Post-operatively, the patient was very happy with results from a cosmetic standpoint, and her nasal breathing improved dramatically. Notice the lack of major cosmetic changes between the pre and post-operative photos.
Rhinoplasty Patient 46
This patient presented to Dr. Bhama with severe nasal obstruction. He did not desire a chance to the cosmetic appearance of his nose. On examination, he had septal deviation and valve collapse. Dr. Bhama performed rhinoplasty with septal repair, and nasal valve repair. Turbinate reduction was also performed. Shown is his post-operative photos. Notice the lack of major aesthetic changes. The patient noted a substantial improvement in his breathing and was very happy with the results of surgery.
Rhinoplasty Patient 47
This patient was referred to Dr. Bhama with complaints of nasal obstruction. He did not desire a major change to the appearance of his nose. Pre-operatively, notice the underprojected nasal tip on profile view and the nasal valve collapse in base view. Dr. Bhama performed open septorhinoplasty using multiple techniques including spreader grafts, lateral crural steal, dorsal refinement, dome narrowing sutures, and turbinate reduction. Post-operatively, notice the improvement in tip projection with preservation of the patient’s overall aesthetic. Also notice improvement in his valve collapse. The patient was able to breathe much better through his nose post-operatively. He was very happy with the cosmetic appearance of his nose.
Rhinoplasty Patient 48
This patient was referred to Dr. Bhama with complaints of nasal obstruction refractory to medical management. She also desired refinement of her nasal tip. She did not want any major changes to the appearance of her nose, and desired a natural looking result. Dr. Bhama performed dual functional cosmetic rhinoplasty and septal reconstruction as well as inferior turbinate reduction. Multiple techniques were used including spreader grafting, dome narrowing sutures, and a columellar strut. Shown in an early post-operative photo. Notice the improvement in the triangularity of the nose on base view, and the subtle narrowing of the nasal tip on frontal view. She is very happy with the cosmetic result and her nasal breathing has improved dramatically.
Rhinoplasty Patient 49
This patient was referred to Dr. Bhama for a longstanding history of nasal obstruction. She desired nasal surgery, but did not want to have an unnatural “done” appearance. She underwent septorhinoplasty with Dr. Bhama. Multiple techniques were used including hump reduction, spreader grafting, cephalic trim, and dome narrowing sutures. Early post-operative pictures are shown. On profile view, note the preservation, but reduction of the dorsal hump. On frontal view, notice the improvement in tip rotation. On base view, notice the improvement in tip definition, which will continue to improve with time. The patient was very happy with cosmetic results and her nasal breathing has improved dramatically.
Rhinoplasty Patient 50
This patient presented to Dr. Bhama with complaints of nasal obstruction refractory to conservative measures. On her pre-operative frontal view, notice the pinching of the middle vault region and the very narrow nose. She was ok with having minor changes to the appearance of her nose, and understood that her nose may need to look slightly wider to accommodate improved airflow. Options were discussed and she elected for septorhinoplasty. Dr. Bhama performed surgery using several techniques including dorsal hump refinement, dome narrowing sutures, spreader grafts, columellar strut, and pedestal narrowing. Early post-operative results are shown, demonstrating substantial improvement in her brow-tip aesthetic lines on frontal view, and preservation of her initial appearance with only minor changes. Also notice the improvement in the infra-tip lobule appearance. She was very happy with results of surgery from both a breathing and cosmetic standpoint.
