Rhinoplasty for Prominent Dorsum and Facial Balance

This 38-year-old woman had spent her entire adult life feeling that her nose was too large and dominant for her otherwise delicate facial features. She was particularly bothered by a high dorsal hump and strong nasal bridge, which she felt drew attention away from her eyes and lips. After years of consideration, she decided to undergo cosmetic rhinoplasty to achieve a more refined, balanced look.

Surgical goals focused on reducing the dorsal hump and softening the nasal profile, while preserving her unique ethnic identity and maintaining nasal function. The result is a gentle, feminine slope to the nasal dorsum and a nose that appears smaller, lighter, and more proportionate to her petite face.

Her side profile now reflects a natural, elegant contour, and the frontal view shows improved tip definition without an operated look. This transformation has helped her feel more confident, harmonious, and at peace with her appearance — a change she says was worth the wait.
