Patient 21

Conservative Anatomical Rhinoplasty and Otoplasty

Our young patient suffered from a rhinoseptal deviation, an osteocartilaginous bump with an overly high and long septum causing significant deviation, and a deviated, undefined tip. She also had asymmetric protruding ears with a folding defect of the auricle, conchal hypertrophy, and lobule protrusion.

The conservative anatomical rhinoplasty (scarless, rhinoseptal realignment, and tip cartilage work) and otoplasty were performed during the same operation under general anesthesia. The postoperative course was simple, with one week of downtime due to the splint. The result, shown here at one year, is very discreet.
