Closed Revision Rhinoplasty With Saddlenose Deformity Repair

This Seattle revision rhinoplasty patient had a prior closed rhinoplasty by another surgeon in the past. She had healed with a saddlenose deformity as evidenced by the excessively low depressed area in the supratip region as best seen on profile view. She was happy with the remainder of her nose so a closed revision septorhinoplasty was performed by Dr. Thomas Lamperti. He harvested cartilage from the patient's septum which he then carved into an onlay graft which he carefully placed in the area of the supratip concavity using a hidden incision inside the nose. In the 8 month postoperative photos you can see how the patient now has a very smooth, natural appearing profile line with no more step off from her upper bridge to her lower bridge. On frontal view the onlay graft added more definition to the patient's bridge which was originally more washed out in appearance. The patient also had an upper eyelid blepharoplasty and revision subnasal lip lift.
