Dorsal Hump Reduction : Closed Rhinoplasty

Posted in Facial Features, Surgical Procedures, December 25th, 2012 | Posted by Dr. Kreidstein

Our careful analysis of this patient led us to offer a closed technique to reduce the dorsal hump of cartilage and bone, and to use a separate technique (modified Weir excision) to create a more narrow appearance to the nasal base with better nasal tip projection.
Not every nose needs to be ‘fixed’, but in this case our patient’s facial  appearance was compromised by the extremes of her nasal shape,  and she had much to gain from rhinoplasty.
