Rhinoplasty Cases

Case 14
This Toronto area young man felt his nose was overprojected and was markedly asymmetric. From the view from below one can see the significant difference between the two nostrils. External approach rhinoplasty was required to improve the asymmetry. By reshaping the tip cartilages and with asymmetric nostril (alar base) reduction symmetry is much improved. In male rhinoplasty Dr Rival feels it is important to maintain a strong male profile. Notice nice healing of the external approach incision. Gender: Male

Case 103
This young woman had rhinoplasty in Toronto. She disliked the prominence of her nose. She felt it was too long and hated the profile view. Her pre operative photos reveal that her nose is long and she has a bump on the bridge giving a convex shape to the profile. The nose is also seen to be wide form the frontal view taking up “too much room” on the face. She underwent a rhinoplasty through a closed approach. The tip was lifted and set back and narrowed. The bridge was reduced and narrowed. One can now see a much more…

Case 102
This young woman had a septoplasty and rhinoplasty in Toronto. She felt her nose was too long and droopy especially with smiling. The nose always pulls down a bit with smiling due to a muscle that attaches to the base of the nose called the depressor septi. She also disliked the convex shape of the bridge in profile and had a deviated septum that can be seen from the view showing the nostrils. She wanted a very feminine nose with significant change. After photos show the tip has been lifted and the nose shortened. The profile is much softer and…

Case 101
This young woman underwent a rhinoplasty in Toronto. Her nose was mostly over projected in the tip and bridge. Closed rhinoplasty surgery was done to set back the tip and reduce the bridge. The slight droop was also corrected. The nose now is much less dominant on her face and her other attractive features stand out more.

Case 61
This young Toronto woman disliked the appearance of her nose. She felt the tip was too wide and bulbous and prominent on her face. She was bothered by the bump on the bridge. She desired a more sloped bridge on profile. An external approach rhinoplasty was performed to allow significant tip work to be performed. She had relatively thick skin but despite this a significant improvement in tip definition and tip narrowing was accomplished. The bridge was reduced to the desired level to produce a more sloped soft feminine profile. The view from below shows the significant change in tip…

Case 71
This young woman did not like the shape of her nose. She had a convex shape to the profile with some ptosis of the tip. From the front the tip was a bit bulbous and had excess hanging in the region between the nostrils (sometimes called a hanging collumella). She underwent rhinoplasty in Toronto. A closed approach was the used. The bridge was reduced and the tip narrowed and lifted. She wished a natural looking straight profile and this was achieved. In a female nose especially we try to obtain a “supratip break.” This refers to the small depression before…

Case 7
This Toronto area patient felt that her nose was too prominent, and was also displeased with the large bump at the bridge. When she met with Dr. Rival at our plastic and rhinoplasty surgery offices in Toronto, she explained that she wanted a her nose to be straighter and smaller, and balance out the rest of her features. For patients who have more significant deformities, and in certain other cases, an “open” rhinoplasty is appropriate. For many other patients, though, Dr. Rival can perform the entire procedure as an “endonasal” procedure, through incisions hidden inside the nostrils. Based on this…
