Wide, Underprojected Tip with Dorsal Hump

This Seattle rhinoplasty patient came to Thomas Lamperti, MD with concerns regarding the large bump on the bridge of his nose. Dr. Lamperti noted that the patient had an underprojected, droopy tip that lacked refinement. Using an open septorhinoplasty approach Dr. Lamperti was able to improve the patient’s tip projection while at the same time slightly lifting and narrowing his tip. Using cartilage from the patient’s septum Dr. Lamperti built up the radix (upper part of the nose starting between the eyes) and brought down the remaining bridge to give the patient a strong, masculine profile. The photographs show the patient’s 2 month postoperative result.
