Fig. 3. — Fat grafting and rhinoplasty. Preoperative (A) and postoperative (B) lateral views of a 37-year-old white woman who underwent autologous fat grafting and rhinoplasty. This patient did not require any change in tip rotation. Preoperatively, the patient had a retrusive upper facial third (forehead/glabella/radix complex) and an open nasofrontal angle, contributing to the appearance of an over-projected nose. The postoperative photograph, obtained 6.3 years after the procedure, shows improvement in facial balance and contour. The patient received 12 cm³ of fat in the nasofrontal region and 18 cm³ in the pyriform region (including a posttraumatic nasolabial scar). Note reduction of the nasofrontal angle (from 141.5° preoperatively to 137.6° postoperatively), with no change in tip rotation.
