WE INVITE YOU TO VIEW OUR GALLERY OF BEFORE & AFTER PHOTOGRAPHS.
When evaluating before and after results please pay attention to the following features of this gallery:

- Descriptive: We have labeled our images with meaningful descriptions to help guide you to specific features.
- One Result, Multiple Views: We do not show you just the “best” views and hide the rest.
- Similar Before & After Photographs: We do not use any trick photography. We encourage our patients to wear make-up in both the before and after images. We use the same camera, the same background, the same lighting, and the same positioning for the before and afters.
- Close-Ups of Incisions and Scars: We do not hide our scars with small images. Instead, we show you magnified views of how our incisions appear and where they are located.
MIDDLE EASTERN RHINOPLASTY
Middle Eastern rhinoplasty is one of Dr. Kolstad’s most common procedures. San Diego has a diverse community with people from every part of the world. Many nose job surgeons will have the same rhinoplasty result for every face. Dr. Kolstad specializes in achieving unique results that match your features as well as your ethnic background.
Case #17.
This patient felt that her nose drew too much attention. She was concerned about having a larger, more prominent nose. Middle Eastern patients tend to have thicker skin which can cause a nasal appearance that is less-defined and bulbous.
Dr. Kolstad was able to deliver a tailored treatment plan with ethnic rhinoplasty that addressed these concerns while also preserving her Middle Eastern background. The surgical technique included resizing the bridge of her nose to be in balance with her other features. The nasal tip was also elevated which resulted in an elegant appearance. The patient was happy with the results which were natural and tailored to her unique goals.
