Procedure: Rhinoplasty
Surgeon: Dr. Batniji
Location: Newport Beach, South Of Santa Ana Ca
Procedure Detail: This 19 year old male presented with an interest in improving not only the function of his nose but also the shape of the nose. Specifically, he desired refinement to his rounded, bulbous nasal tip. As well, he wished to address the width of his nose, particularly at the nasal bones. Finally, on profile view, he desired a stronger dorsum of the nose as he felt his nose appeared “scooped out” on profile view. Of note, the patient had an interest in addressing protruding or prominent ears at the same time as the nasal surgery. Dr. Batniji performed the following:
Otoplasty to address protruding ears.
Septoplasty to straighten the nasal septum, thus improving her ability to breathe through the nose.
Rhinoplasty via an external approach.
Augmentation of the dorsum of the nose with morselized cartilage to address the saddle nose, “scooped out” appearance of the nose on profile view.
Alar contour rim grafts to achieve natural contours of the nasal tip.
Suturing techniques to improve definition of the tip cartilages (lower lateral cartilages).
Medial and lateral osteotomies of the nasal bones to address the width of the nasal bones.
