This patient wanted to see a top facial plastic surgeon in San Diego to improve the appearance of his nose. He did not like how the tip of his nose pointed downwards and how his hanging columella caused too much nostril exposure. He also wanted to reduce the prominent hump on the bridge of his nose.
Dr. Kolstad sees many Middle Eastern rhinoplasty patients in his practice and understands the importance of customizing each surgery to create natural-looking results that perfectly match their unique ethnic features. By rotating the patient’s droopy nasal tip upwards and correcting the columella ptosis, Dr. Kolstad created a nose that appears less elongated and more refined. The bridge of the nose was carefully contoured to remove the prominent hump and create a straight bridge.
