Rib-cartilage rhinoplasty: recovery through six months · Case 022
This rhinoplasty diary begins with concerns about a short, low nasal tip and a broad nose. The patient account describes rib cartilage, ear cartilage, a silicone bridge implant and nasal bone narrowing.














Looking at the photographs
The sequence starts with front and side views before surgery, then follows bruising and swelling at one and two weeks. Later photographs document the nose at three weeks and at monthly intervals through six months. The patient described gradual changes as swelling settled rather than one immediate finished result.
Treatment details
The surgical details come from the supplied patient account. Makeup, lighting and posing differ in the later photographs, so they are not standardized measurements of the result.
