This patient is a 38-year-old woman from Lancaster, OH who came to the Columbus Institute of Plastic Surgery for a rhinoplasty (nose job). She had this procedure in mind for quite some time as she was displeased with the appearance of her nose. As you can see in the ‘before’ photos, her nose had an enlarged hump. This was the issue that she wished to have board certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Bivik Shah, correct for her. She met with the staff and surgeon and decided to have the procedure with us. The after photos here were taken five months after surgery and as you can see, the issues that she had worried about have been corrected. With a rhinoplasty, the swelling can take anywhere from a year to a year and a half to completely go away.
