This athletic 23-year-old man came to consult with Dr. Walsh seeking both cosmetic and functional improvements to his nose. For years he was deeply bothered by its large size and a prominent hump, while also struggling with constant congestion on his left side that restricted his breathing.
To address his goals, Dr. Walsh performed an open septorhinoplasty under general anesthesia. She meticulously straightened his deviated septum to open his airway, smoothed down his dorsal hump, sculpted his nasal tip and narrowed his nasal bones to refine his profile. Dr. Walsh also utilized a series of grafts from his native cartilage to improve his breathing, augment his structural integrity, and ensure a seamless contour.
Now three months post-operative, the patient is feeling very well. His incisions have healed beautifully with excellent structural support, leaving him with a balanced, natural look that perfectly complements his 5’10” frame.
