Case 35
A prominent nasal “hump” often makes a nose seem longer. This Toronto-area woman scheduled an appointment at Dr. Rival’s rhinoplasty clinic in Toronto to find out how cosmetic surgery could refine the shape of her nose by shortening it and reducing the bridge. In her first meeting with Dr. Rival, he examined her nose and found that the large nasal bridge and the abnormally wide nasal tip were partly to blame for making her nose appear so long. In the view from below the nose, you can also see some deviation in the “nasal pyramid,” the triangle created by the…

Case 30
Many people have complaints about the shape and structure of their nose, feeling that it causes a facial imbalance and directs attention away from their eyes. This woman was bothered by the large, bulbous shape of her nose tip, as it lacked definition and seemed almost independent from her other facial features. When she met with Dr. Rival, she explained that her nose felt too wide on her narrow face and she desired a more natural-looking balance.

Case 47
This Toronto area woman desired a change in the appearance of her nose. She felt that her nose was too prominent for her face. She was particularly troubled by her profile which showed a large dorsal hump and a mildly overprojected tip. A closed septorhinoplasty surgery was performed to reduce the hump and set back the tip slightly. The tip was also narrowed in a conservative fashion. Early results are shown here, there is still some swelling in the tip and along the sides of the nose and in the lower part of the bridge. Preoperative computer imaging and discussion…

Case 18
This young man decided to come in for a consultation for a revision rhinoplasty in Toronto after his previous rhinoplasty surgeon used an overly aggressive approach that left him with a lumpy, “scooped” looking nose that did not balance well with his other facial features. In his consultation, the man expressed interest in options to achieve a straighter and more consistent shape and restore some of the volume below his nasal bridge. Revision procedures tend to require special skill because the doctor has to create a pleasing shape at the same time as he corrects the the previous surgeon’s work.…

Case 15
This young woman felt her nose was too large for her face. This was partly because of over developed nasal bone and cartilage but also due to thick nasal skin. Skin thickness is very important in rhinoplasty. Thick skin can limit the amount of reduction possible as it does not shrink itself around the new nasal framework as well as thinner skin will. Reduction rhinoplasty performed to reduce and narrow the tip and the the bridge. The results may seem less dramatic secondary to her thicker skin. Gender: Female
