Nose

Rhinoplasty & Male Rhinoplasty

Before and after photo of revision rhinoplasty with patient’s own rib. Patient had 2 prior surgeries that left him unable to breathe. His septum was collapsed in the front, replaced by scar, and deviated causing obstruction. He underwent an open structure septo-rhinoplasty for reconstruction. He now looks better and breathes better!

Rhinoplasty & Female Rhinoplasty & Septal Perforation

Very rewarding case of a revision rhinoplasty 6 month post operatively. This wonderful woman had a prior surgery that left her with a pollybeak deformity and nasal septal perforation.

Pollybeak deformity refers to excess tissue over the “supratip” area (region over the bridge of the nose right before the nasal tip). It’s name is derived from the beak-like shape of the nose. This usually occurs from prior rhinoplasty surgery, and can happen when dorsal humps are aggressively taken down without accounting for skin redraping. Patients subsequently develop excess scar tissue underneath the skin that gives the characteristic appearance. Other causes include inadequate dorsal hump reduction, as well as failed corrective surgery of a “tension” tip deformity.

She elected to undergo revision rhinoplasty with her own rib for aesthetic and functional purposes. The prior surgery also had left her with a large hole in her septum, for which she also underwent flap reconstruction for closure.

Rhinoplasty and Otoplasty

Very excited to share photos of my patient. It’s hard to believe he is only 4 weeks out and looks so good! He had severe tip asymmetry, with inability to breathing, requiring overall reconstruction with rib. He had narrowing of his nostrils, in addition to being too projected (long nose). The key was to de-project him, but not by a lot, since he has a strong facial skeleton, so as to keep the overall harmony and balance of the face.

Male Revision Rhinoplasty Before and After

Excited to share before and after photos after reconstructive plastic surgery. This wonderful Park Avenue patient had three prior rhinoplasties that left him scarred and unable to breathe properly. This is what is called a “tertiary” rhinoplasty, and is very challenging from a surgical perspective. Each surgery he underwent increased the amount of scar in the nose, and reduced the available blood flow and vascularity. Adding to the difficulties is that his prior rhinoplasty surgeries were “reductive”, meaning that the original surgeons had removed critical portions of the nose, leaving the nose weakened and non-functional over time, causing significant collapse. I was fortunate to be entrusted with his fourth (and hopefully final!) revision rhinoplasty using his own rib to reconstruct the critical portions of his nose. He is 9 weeks postoperative in this photo, with some residual swelling, but is breathing again for the first time in years, and looking great!

Female Open Rhinoplasty Before and After

Thrilled to share these before and after photos of a wonderful patient of mine. It’s always a little extra pressure when you operate on someone you work with, but also an honor and a privilege to be entrusted with their care. She had an open rhinoplasty 8 months ago. She has mild tip swelling that should subside over the coming months, with de-rotation of her tip. Special thanks to her for allowing us to share in her journey!

Female Closed Rhinoplasty

Intra op photo of closed rhinoplasty. These rhinoplasty techniques use no visible incisions, minimizes post-operative pain and swelling, and reduces recovery time- so you can get back to life sooner and breathe better! I feel fortunate, humbled, and blessed to be trusted by my patients. We are safely returning to elective surgery and put in place protocols and policy ensuring the safety of patients and staff.

Female Rhinoplasty 4 Month Before and After

4 months before and after of my wonderful patient who underwent a rhinoplasty. This is an incredibly wonderful patient of mine that underwent some changes to her dorsum and nasal tip to enhance her look while improving her breathing. She is still only 4 months out and still has some swelling that will only continue to improve! I feel blessed to be trusted with my patient’s appearance.

Female Ethnic Rhinoplasty

One of my patients underwent a rhinoplasty only 1 month ago. She just needed some tip refinement and a lowered nasal hump that made a world of a difference! It enhanced an already harmonious and aesthetically balanced face. You can appreciate the gentle slope of her dorsum and the refinement of her tip in her after photo on the right. I feel so fortunate to be trusted by my wonderful patients with their appearance.
