Procedure: Rhinoplasty

Surgeon: Dr. Batniji

Location: Newport Beach, South Of Santa Ana Ca

Procedure Detail: This 37 year old female presented with an interest in improving the shape of the nose. Specifically, she desired removal of a dorsal hump (bump on the top of the nose) and correction of a droopy tip. Dr. Batniji performed the following:

• Septoplasty to straighten the nasal septum, thus improving her ability to breathe through the nose.
• Rhinoplasty via an external approach.
• Bilateral auto-spreader grafts to maintain the integrity of the middle nasal vault and internal nasal valve.
• Dorsal hump reduction (profileplasty) with osteotome to address the bony dorsal hump; a rasp was then used for subtle refinement of the bony nasal dorsum. Cartilaginous dorsal hump was removed conservatively. The upper lateral cartilages were preserved to further maintain the integrity of the middle nasal vault and internal nasal valve.
• Caudal extension graft to increase tip projection, tip rotation, and tip support.
• Tip suture technique to provide subtle refinement to the nasal tip.
