Home / Patient Stories / Perfect Nose Profile With Cartilage Grafts – Real Patient Story 5

Tailored Surgical Plan Ensures Satisfactory Results

Understanding the complexity of the patient’s nasal issues, Dr. Rizk used rib bank cartilage for accurate and lasting correction of her nose profile. This method is particularly effective for reconstructing more severe nasal deformities, providing the necessary structure and support where lesser materials might fail. The surgery focused on reshaping the droopy nasal tip to a more refined appearance while straightening the nasal bridge to eliminate the open roof deformity. The use of rib cartilage allowed for sculpting of the nasal structures, ensuring the changes were both subtle and impactful.
