This is a young patient with a history of a deviated nose.  She had difficulty breathing through both sides of her nose due to her septal deviation.  A standard septoplasty approach would not correct such a severe deviation. 

Dr. Shah utilized an external approach and replaced her entire septum with a newly constructed septum.  In addition, this patient received alar batten grafts for breathing support.  This patient described wanting a "natural nose",  and her nasal tip was constructed to reflect those changes with a combination of nasal tip graft and crushed cartilage.

Her nose is straighter on the postoperative view and the patient's breathing has been restored.  Her wide nasal tip was contoured to a narrower, yet still natural looking tip.
