Rhinoplasty - Portland, OR*

This 40-year-old female patient sought a reduction rhinoplasty, feeling that her nose appeared too large and projected prominently from both the bridge and tip, particularly in profile view. On examination, Dr. Petroff also identified a deviated septum contributing to approximately 40% obstruction of the left nasal airway. During surgery, Dr. Petroff performed a reduction rhinoplasty to create a more proportionate nasal contour, addressing both dorsal and tip projection. Septal cartilage was used to support and refine the nasal tip, while spreader grafts were placed to preserve the width of the mid-vault and maintain long-term structural integrity. The result is a more balanced, harmonious profile with improved breathing function.
