Analysis of her nose revealed quite thick skin and a nose that was wide both in the bridge region as well as the tip. Results are shown at about 1 year after an external approach septorhinoplasty.

Case 72

This young man began researching rhinoplasty surgeons in Toronto to find out how to correct his overly prominent nose. During his consultation, Dr. Rival found that the man’s nose exhibited a large hump and over-projected bridge, as well as an over-projected tip.

People with this trait can still expect a smaller, more improved shape to the…
