When Breathing Meets Beauty: A Rhinoplasty Case Exploration

Abstract Rhinoplasty, encompassing both aesthetic and functional objectives, remains one of the most frequently performed procedures in facial plastic surgery. Despite its prevalence, the complexity of nasal anatomy and individual patient variations necessitate a tailored surgical approach to achieve optimal outcomes. We present the case of a 28-year-old male patient who underwent rhinoplasty to address a prominent dorsal hump and moderate nasal tip ptosis. Surgical planning involved dorsal hump reduction, tip refinement and columellar strut placement to enhance tip projection and support. This article also underscores the importance of a comprehensive preoperative assessment and individualized surgical planning in rhinoplasty.
