Ethnic Rhinoplasty: Wide, Bulbous Nasal Tip with Underprojected Radix

Wide, bulbous nasal tip with underprojected radix This Seattle rhinoplasty patient came to Dr. Lamperti desiring to reduce the width and fullness of her nasal tip. Using an open septorhinoplasty approach Dr. Lamperti was able to refine the patient’s nasal tip while at the same time conservatively reducing the width of her nasal base. Additionally, the patient profile was improved with slight tip deprojection and supratip refinement. The patient’s upper bridge was somewhat underdeveloped so Dr. Lamperti built up the nasal bridge by placing a radix graft (to the portion of the bridge between the eyes). Postoperatively, the patient has a more well-balance nose that better fits her facial proportions.
