Reduction rhinoplasty with negligible scar formation

A 55 year old woman reported to our hospital seeking for cosmetic nose correction. She was very particular to reduce the size of the nostrils which gave her an asymmetric appearance on her facial profile view.

Maxillofacial Surgeon Dr. S. M. Balaji successfully planned to correct the nose shape by following closed reduction rhinoplasty technique. Excessive caudal portion of nasal septal cartilage was removed intranasally to avoid scar formation. Results are immediate. Patient was happy to have corrected nose profile and nose tip without any visible scarring.
