Crooked, Upturned Nose Rhinoplasty Repair Before And After Photos

This patient consulted with Dr. Lamperti looking to address his very crooked nose that had bothered him for a long time. He also noted chronic nasal obstruction that he hoped could be improved. In addition to this he also was interested in making his tip less upturned and in smoothing his bridge somewhat while still maintaining a masculine appearance. Dr. Lamperti performed an open septorhinoplasty which allowed him to straighten the patient's very crooked septum which greatly improved his nasal breathing. Once the septum was straightened Dr. Lamperti rebuilt the patient's tip in a more downturned position to make the nose less short and then trimmed the bridge to make that area less prominent. Importantly, you can see in the 9 month after photos how Dr. Lamperti purposefully maintained a bit of a bridge bump as planned to maintain a masculine apperance. In the after photos you can also see on frontal view how much straighter the patient's nose is. Now that his tip is more downturned you also see less up into his nostrils. Incidentally, Dr. Lamperti also removed an unwanted mole from the patient's right inner, upper eyelid (just below his eyebrow) that has also healed very well.
