This 22-year-old patient presented with a prominent dorsal hump and an unbalanced nasal profile. Although her main concern was cosmetic, evaluation revealed left septal deviation involving areas II and III, a bony septal spur, hypertrophy of the inferior/middle turbinates and ultimately seropurulent maxillary sinus secretions. She underwent a primary open septorhinoplasty with dorsal hump reduction, dorsal refinement, and alar resection with SEG plication, along with septoplasty, release of the bony spur, luxofracture of the inferior/middle turbinates and maxillary antrostomy. The procedure was performed under sedation and completed without complications. At last, the patient recovered well and expressed high satisfaction with the natural, discreet result and improved facial harmony.
