Indian Ethnic Rhinoplasty with Crooked Nose and Dorsal Hump Repair

This Seattle rhinoplasty patient of Indian descent came to Thomas Lamperti, MD looking to fix her severely deviated nose which she suffered due to a prior untreated nasal fracture. She was experiencing signficant chronic nasal blockage as a result of the internal and external crookedness. Another result of her nasal injury was the development of a hump on her bridge which she was also interested in smoothing. Dr. Lamperti performed an open septorhinoplasty in order to refine the patients bridge and reconstruct her severely deviated septum. He also deprojected her tip somewhat and reduced the upturned appearance of her nose by improving the fullness of her infra-tip lobule. In the 1 year postoperative photos you can see how the patient's bridge is much smoother and on frontal view her nose much less deviated. Importantly, the patient is also able to breathe much better as well.
