Procedure: Rhinoplasty

Surgeon: Dr. Batniji

Location: Newport Beach, Ca

Procedure Detail: This 20 year old female presented to Dr. Batniji in consultation for a rhinoplasty. She was interested in addressing the crooked appearance of the nose on frontal view and removal of a bump along the bridge of the nose.

• Septoplasty via a left sided hemitransfixion incision to correct the deviated septum and harvest septal cartilage for use in rhinoplasty.
• Rhinoplasty via an ENDONASAL/CLOSED approach.
• Dorsal hump reduction (profileplasty) with a rasp for subtle refinement of the bony nasal dorsum. Cartilaginous dorsal hump was removed. The upper lateral cartilages were preserved to further maintain the integrity of the middle nasal vault and internal nasal valve.
• The internal nasal valves were reconstructed to not only maintain the nasal airway, but also to improve upon its function. Spreader grafts were placed on both sides.
• In an effort to achieve tip rotation, a columellar strut was placed.
• Lateral and medial osteotomies to further straighten the nose.
