23-year-old Hispanic woman shown before and 6 months after aesthetic rhinoplasty and extra-large, extended-anatomic silicone chin implant. She underwent nasal tip defatting, lateral turn-in flaps, a right caudal septal extension graft, separate domal sutures nasal sill reduction, and lateral refining osteotomies. Ethnic rhinoplasty is one of the toughest to perform because typically with super thick skin there is not much a discernible difference. Over reduction of the cartilages causes the tip to look more bulbous. Pushing the cartilages too far into the thick skin may make the tip look too large. A tip graft and also a radix graft to balance the nasal tip were attempted during the surgery but it left a less than desirable result and were abandoned. She also gives a video testimonial of her life-changing experience.

Rhinoplasty-Nose Job, Revision/Corrective Rhinoplasty
This 40-year-old woman is shown before and 16 months after a revision rhinoplasty. She was unhappy with the appearance of her nasal tip and she could not breathe from the left side of her nose. During the procedure a left spreader graft was placed so that now she can breathe well. She also had her previous nasal tip graft removed that was causing the distortion and asymmetry to her nasal tip. Her columella that was buckled was straightened. However, she does have a small residual deviation of the nasal tip that was not entirely corrected. She also had dice cartilage wrapped with mastoid fascia and placed onto the over-resected middle nasal vault. She also had her nasal bones realigned and straightened.

Rhinoplasty-Nose Job, Revision/Corrective Rhinoplasty, Lip Reduction (Corrective and Ethnic)
This 34-year-old patient African-American gentleman is shown before and one week after a revision rhinoplasty/nose job and lip reduction. Of note, for his rhinoplasty, he underwent nasal hump reduction and osteotomies to lower the hump and to narrow the nose. He had his radix elevated with diced rib graft with Tisseel, lateral turn-in flaps to narrow the nose along with double-dome binding sutures and a caudal septal extension graft to create a stronger tip and to elevate a sagging nose. He also could not breathe well and now has perfect breathing.
