[Cochran\, C. Spencer]

Major Deformity


Over-projected tip



Minor Deformities

Analysis of Preoperative Photos


Dorsal hump. Tip is counter-rotated and over-projected, which causes the nose to appear excessively long. The excessive convexity of the lateral crura contributes to a bulbous tip and external valve collapse where the lateral crura meet the accessory cartilages.



Interval from Surgery to Postoperative Photos


1 year
