Severely Deviated Nose with Overprojection and Dorsal Hump Combined with Chin Implant

This Seattle rhinoplasty patient had concerns regarding chronic nasal congestion and the size of his severely deviated nose. Dr. Thomas Lamperti’s preoperative assessment revealed an under-projected chin which exacerbated the perceived size of the patient’s nose. While undergoing a septorhinoplasty to correct his nose, the patient also had a chin implant placed via a small incision (in the area of a pre-existing scar) under his chin. One year postoperatively, the patient has a much improved overall balance to his face. Though his nose was made smaller, by improving the chin projection Dr. Lamperti was able to maintain a strong, masculine profile for the patient.
