Procedures Performed Rhinoplasty
This patient sought rhinoplasty with concerns about the overall size and appearance of her nose, especially in the tip. She described her nose as looking "overprotected" and felt that it appeared large in relation to her other facial features. She did not report any prior injuries or have a dorsal hump. Her main goal was to achieve a more refined nasal shape that would harmonize with the rest of her face.
We began the consultation by discussing her expectations and reviewing her desired outcomes. Together, we formulated a surgical plan focused on subtle tip refinement and careful reduction in overall size, while maintaining her unique facial identity. The procedure was performed under general anesthesia.
Recovery progressed as expected. Swelling was present early on but steadily improved over several weeks. The nasal tip appears more defined, while the nose overall remains natural and well-integrated with her facial features.
As the surgeon performing this case, Dr. Karter draws on his training in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery to approach rhinoplasty with precision and attention to detail. At Karter Advanced Facial Plastic Surgery, we prioritize patient safety and open communication throughout every step of care.
