Rhinoplasty - Cosmetic Before & After Case 345
Case Details
This patient, a young woman attending college, had considered Rhinoplasty - Cosmetic in Washington DC & Arlington for several years before her consultation. As a professional actor and singer, she wished to refine her nasal profile with minimal alteration, specifically aiming for a more feminine bridge and improvement of a droopy tip—an area of concern especially noticeable when she smiled. She did not have a history of nasal trauma or functional breathing issues, but maintained a clear vision for subtle changes that would complement her career and lifestyle. The potential impact on her voice was a primary concern, as her livelihood depends on her vocal performance.
She underwent a closed rhinoplasty preservation procedure, which allowed for the reduction of a small bump and the creation of a smoother nasal dorsum. The tip of her nose was refined without extensive modification to her natural cartilage, leaving her with a less droopy appearance but still preserving her unique features. This technique involved no external stitches or scars, aligning with her desire for discreet improvement. Some plastic surgeons call this approach "scarless" rhinoplasty.
Her recovery progressed without complication. She quickly resumed singing and performing, noting no changes to her voice or breathing. The patient has openly shared her experience and satisfaction, especially appreciating the subtle and natural-looking result. Her family initially had reservations but now expresses confidence in her decision and Dr. Houtan Chaboki’s care.
Dr. Chaboki emphasizes conservative treatments designed to enhance natural beauty while avoiding an "overdone" look. With board certifications in both Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery and Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Dr. Chaboki focuses on helping patients "Look Better, Not Different."
