Septorhinoplasty to correct a deviated nasal septum and give symmetry to the profile of a younger woman

Patients considering rhinoplasty in the Washington DC area often ask plastic surgeons to reduce a nasal bump, which is made of both cartilage and bone, to improve their profile. This professional woman had considered rhinoplasty for years before a consultation with Dr. Chaboki, a board certified facial plastic surgeon.

Via an endonasal (closed) rhinoplasty technique, her bump was improved without any external or visible incisions. In addition, the tip was improved to reduce the rounded appearance when smiling. She also underwent septoplasty to correct a deviated septum and to improve her nasal breathing. Patients often have to wear a cast after nose surgery, especially after bone reshaping, and is typically removed after 1 week.
