BEFORE

DIGITALLY MORPHED VERSION OF FIRST PICTURE TO EDUCATE THE PATIENT HOW THE NOSE MAY LOOK AFTER SURGERY
DIGITAL MANIPULATION ALLOWS A FAIRLY GOOD IDEA OF WHAT THE SURGEON IS PLANING TO ACHIEVE FROM THE SURGERY AND IF THE SUGGESTED CHANGES ARE IN LINE WITH THE PATIENTS EXPECTATION AND ASPIRATION.
MORPHING IS THE CENTRAL THEME OF SURGICAL PLANNING IN MY PRACTICE.
IT IS MADE CLEAR TO THE PATIENT THAT THE EXERCISE IS NOT TO PROMISE THE CHANGES SHOWN ON THE SCREEN BUT TO CLEARLY CONVEY THE IDEAL OBJECTIVE AND SOMETIMES THE POSSIBLE POOR OUTCOMES.

AFTER 
THREE WEEKS AFTER SURGERY


OBJECTIVES MET
1 NARROW MID-DORSUM
2. NARROW BUT FUNCTIONALLY ADEQUATE NASAL TIP
3 SOFTER AESTHETIC LINES APPROPRIATE FOR A TALL YOUNG MAN.

Basal view of the nose is the key view while comparing the Before and After results in Rhinoplasty & Septo-Rhinoplasty. This view is not generally visible to the onlooker but it indicates that the principles of sound rhinoplasty techniques have been adhered to, successfully. It confirms the midline position of the central structure – the Septum, the symmetry and harmony of the nasal tip components and the nostrils.
