After · Results shown 18 months post-surgery
About This Case
This patient presented with a prominent dorsal hump and a drooping tip that became more pronounced on animation. Her primary goal was a natural-looking refinement that preserved her facial character. Dr. Buonassisi used a preservation rhinoplasty approach to lower the bridge while maintaining the underlying structural integrity, combined with tip deprojection and rotation. Results are shown at 18 months — final swelling resolution is typically complete by 12–18 months.
