Case Three

This is a 20 year old female patient who had one previous unsuccessful rhinoplasty to correct her congenitally deformed nose. On examination, the patient has underdeveloped nasal cartilages with a low dorsum, depressed tip, and a very short columella (the part between the nostrils). Dr. Foda performed a revision rhinoplasty on her using the patient’s rib cartilage to build up the nasal dorsum and project the nasal tip.
