This 35-year-old patient presented to Dr. Erin Smith to address both aesthetic and functional nasal concerns, specifically noting a lack of airflow through the left side and an overly projected nasal tip. Upon comprehensive physical examination, Dr. Smith diagnosed a leftward septal deviation causing the nasal obstruction, determining the patient to be an ideal candidate for a combined functional septoplasty and cosmetic rhinoplasty. At her three-month post-operative evaluation, the patient reported being very pleased with her results, noting both a remarkable aesthetic transformation and profoundly improved breathing. A review of her post-operative photos highlights Dr. Smith’s meticulous precision: the dorsal hump has been seamlessly smoothed and the nasal tip elegantly refined. The outcome is strikingly beautiful yet entirely natural, perfectly harmonizing with the patient’s existing beauty.
