Rhinoplasty To Smooth Bridge And Improve Nasal Obstruction Combined With Chin Implantation

This patient traveled from Eastern Washington to consult with Dr. Lamperti regarding fixing her chronically restricted nasal airflow and chronic sinusitis. She also wanted to smooth her bridge and address her recessed chin as well. To improve her breathing Dr. Lamperti performed a septoplasty. He also performed endoscopic sinus surgery to open up her blocked sinus passages. Additionally, Dr. Lamperti performed an open rhinoplasty which allowed him to smooth down the patient's bridge hump. He also conservatively deprojected the patient's tip and reduced her columellar show slightly while maintaining the same tip rotation. To further improve the patient's facial proportions, Dr. Lamperti placed a silicone chin implant using a small incision placed under her chin. In the 1 year after photos you can see how the patient's nose is smaller with a smooth bridge on profile view. The patient is also very happy now that her nasal airflow is improved and she hasn't had any sinus infections since having surgery.
