#MODELNOSE What do I mean when I say a model nose after someone has a
#rhinoplasty? This is a specific look a patient is trying to achieve with narrow dorsal aesthetic lines, a well defined tip, and a curve to the nasal
#profile. It is very important to understand that this look doesn’t work for every patient. First of all, many patients want a more conservative rhinoplasty, and other patients don’t have the ethnicity, personality, or anatomy to meet the
#goal. Patients, for example, with thick
#skin are going to have a more difficult time achieving sharp tip definition and a strong supratip break. During the consultation process, I asked patients to bring in 3 photos of surgeries I have done that they like. This helps to understand the
#aesthetic goals and to match the surgery to the patient’s requests. This patient is
#Ukrainian in background with thin skin and she actually is a
#model that came from
#Miami to have surgery. We felt that this
#nose would be very appropriate to her facial features, personality, and aesthetic. What a
#smile and huge
#confidence!
