Nose Surgery (Rhinoplasty) - Case 7

This 23 year old woman came to Minneapolis Plastic Surgery because she was unhappy with the bump on her nose. She did not have history of fracture, injury, breathing difficulties, seasonal allergies, or airway concerns, and requested only cosmetic changes in her nasal appearance. Outpatient rhinoplasty was performed in our office surgical facility under general (TIVA) anesthesia, and she had minimal bruising after nasal splint removal in a week. Numbness persisted for 6-12 months, and continued improvement in appearance, softness, and sensation was noted for up to one year. After photos show her appearance 6 weeks post-op.
