Case 1: Primary Rhinoplasty for Functional Issues and Aesthetic Concerns

A 25-year-old female patient presents with functional issues, a bottom-heavy nose, narrow radix, and cartilaginous vault, as well as asymmetric nasal bones. Dr. Robotti’s surgical approach and expert techniques are on full display in this case.

Case 2: Rhinoplasty for Functional Issues and Traumatic Nasal Deformity

A 26-year-old male patient seeks rhinoplasty for functional issues, previous trauma, and a long, droopy nose with excess width and length, as well as asymmetric nasal bones and a bulbous, hyperprojected, droopy tip. Dr. Robotti’s surgical plan and execution are meticulous and informative.

Case 3: Reconstructive Rhinoplasty for Post-Septoplasty Deformity

A 50-year-old male patient requires rhinoplasty to address severe functional issues, previous trauma, and a crooked, wide, and asymmetric nose following septoplasty. Dr. Robotti’s expertise in managing complex nasal deformities shines in this case.

Case 4: Secondary Rhinoplasty for Revision and Refinement

A 41-year-old female patient undergoes secondary rhinoplasty to correct previous trauma, two previous rhinoseptoplasties, and a crooked, large, and flaccid nose with bony and cartilaginous deviation, as well as thick and redundant skin. Dr. Robotti’s approach to revision rhinoplasty is both insightful and practical.

Case 5: Primary Rhinoplasty for Aesthetic Refinement

A 31-year-old female patient requires rhinoplasty to address contour deformities, a wide radix, narrow middle vault, asymmetry of lower laterals, misshapen infratip, and excess nasal height and projection. Dr. Robotti’s surgical techniques and artistic sense are on full display in this case.

Case 6: Secondary Rhinoplasty for Refinement and Functional Improvement

A 29-year-old female patient undergoes secondary rhinoplasty to correct previous septoplasty and hump reduction, resulting in a bottom-heavy nose with a big, undefined tip and contour irregularities. Dr. Robotti’s expertise in managing complex secondary rhinoplasty cases is evident in this final case.

These six live surgery cases offer a unique opportunity for rhinoplasty surgeons and practitioners to refine their skills, learn from Dr. Robotti’s expertise, and enhance their understanding of complex nasal deformities and surgical techniques.
