This 25-year-old woman wanted to reduce the prominence of her nose and ears while maintaining her ethnic appearance. She decided to learn about her options by consulting with a Los Angeles plastic surgeon who performed rhinoplasty. She eventually chose to contact Marina Plastic Surgery Associates.

She expressed her concerns to her surgeon. He explained that by minimally altering the shape of her nose, she would see the change she wanted but would maintain the general ethnic look of her nose. He would also perform the rhinoplasty as a closed-incision procedure, meaning there would be no obvious scarring after surgery. As for her ears, her surgeon would perform otoplasty, or ear-pinning surgery. By performing both procedures together, he could minimize her downtime.

One month after her Los Angeles rhinoplasty and otoplasty, her “after” photos were taken.
