Rhinoplasty with Septal Repair
This patient came to Dr. Boynton complaining of chronic congestion and other breathing problems as well as a desire to improve the appearance of her nose. Dr. Boynton performed an open rhinoplasty to narrow and improve the appearance of the nasal tip as well as decrease the width of the base of the nose and removal of the dorsal “hump”. As the rhinoplasty was used to improve the appearance of the nose Dr. Boynton also performed a septoplasty to fix the deviated septum and removal of a portion of the turbinates to improve nasal airflow.
Postoperative results show improvement and balance to the nose, increased nasal tip projection, removal of the “hump”, and a narrower base. Functionally, the patient breathes easily through both nostrils.
