Combining Rhinoplasty To Correct Saddle Nose Deformity and Bridge Hump With Face Lift and Blepharoplasty Surgery

This rhinoplasty patient came to Seattle from out of state to consult with Thomas Lamperti, MD regarding her saddle nose deformity and bridge bump. The saddle nose was a result of a prior severe nasal infection which destroyed some of her bridge cartilage. At the same time as her nasal surgery the patient also wanted to rejuvenate her appearance by addressing her droopy upper eyelids and sagging jawline and neck line. Dr. Lamperti performed a combination surgery including an open septorhinoplasty, upper eyelid blepharoplasty and face lift surgery. During the rhinoplasty Dr. Lamperti rebuilt the patient's sunken bridge in the area of the saddle nose and then smoothed down the hump higher up on the bridge in order to create a much smoother, natural profile line. In the 1 year after photos you can note a much improved nasal appearance in which the recontoured bridge is smoother and natural appearing.
