A 26-year-old man came to our hospital seeking to enhance his appearance by correcting the shape of his nose. His nose was flattened & broad that affected his facial profile.

Maxillofacial Surgeon Dr. S.M. Balaji successfully performed the augmentation rhinoplasty procedure. A costochondral rib graft was harvested. The dorsum of the nose was augmented using the harvested graft. Immediately after surgery the nose appeared sharp & defined which greatly enhanced his looks. The patient was happy with the enhanced cosmetic results achieved without any scars since the surgery was done from within the nose.
