Rhinoplasty Before & After Case 429

This patient sought rhinoplasty in Los Angeles to address ongoing concerns with both the appearance and function of her nose. She reported difficulty breathing through her nasal passages, especially on the left side. She was also bothered by a prominent dorsal hump and felt that the tip of her nose appeared too wide. Examination confirmed a deviated septum and left inferior turbinate hypertrophy, both of which contributed to her breathing issues.

Armen Vartany, MD, performed the rhinoplasty using techniques tailored to resolve the patient’s aesthetic and functional concerns. The procedure involved correcting the septal deviation, reducing the hypertrophied turbinate, and reshaping the nasal profile. Postoperative results show improved nasal symmetry, a more refined tip, and a smoother nasal bridge. The patient also experienced a significant improvement in airflow through both nostrils. Dr. Vartany’s background in both general and plastic surgery, paired with his ongoing professional education, supports his careful approach to complex cases like this one.
