Patient Case #29806: Rhinoplasty For Wide Hispanic Nose
Procedure Information
Description:Dr. Kolstad is one of the best rhinoplasty surgeons in San Diego and he specializes in achieving beautiful results for Hispanic rhinoplasty patients with wide noses. This patient came to Kolstad Facial Plastic Surgery because she wanted to improve the shape of her nose. She did not like how her nose lacked contour from the front view and appeared too flat from the profile view.
San Diego is an incredibly diverse community and Dr. Kolstad sees rhinoplasty patients from all over the world in his practice. While many rhinoplasty surgeons will use the same techniques for every face, Dr. Kolstad believes that the key to achieving natural-looking results requires customizing each surgery to match each patient’s unique facial features and distinct ethnic characteristics.
During surgery, Dr. Kolstad created cartilage grafts to reshape and recontour the patient’s nose. Using a diced rib cartilage graft added height to the bridge, which made her nose appear more refined and slender.
