Successful correction of bulky nose without any scars

A 30 year old man reported to our hospital with the complaints of broad flattened nose which gave him an aged appearance. He felt that his nose profile doesn’t suit his face and he was psychologically disturbed due to his appearance.

Maxillofacial Surgeon Dr. S. M. Balaji successfully corrected his nose by closed reduction rhinoplasty technique. During procedure, caudal portion of lower lateral nasal septal cartilage was removed also width of the alar base was corrected by Weir excision. Results are immediate. Patient was happy to have reduced shape and size of the nose giving pristine appearance without any surgical marks on his face.
