Through years of experience and over 1500 Rhinoplasties performed Dr. Tamplen has broken rhinoplasty down to 3 main categories for desired results.

1. Straight and Natural
1. Straight and Natural
This shape is chosen by patients who want to reduce distractions on their nose without creating any new ones. Dr. Tamplen focuses on tip support with minimal bridge takedown and a preservation rhinoplasty approach. He balances the tip elevation with bringing the nostril margin down, so patients see less nostril show and have the beautiful straight profile they always wanted.
2. Feminine Slope
This shape is chosen by patients who want their before and after photos to really pop. This nose shape will soften and feminize the face often highlighting the patients’ eyes and lips while making the nose appear smaller. Dr. Tamplen focuses on tip support with slightly more rotation but also brings the nostril margin down so there is no nostril show. This allows him to achieve these beautiful feminine profiles without the nose looking too turned up or piggy.
3. Somewhere in between
This nose shape is Dr. Tamplen favorite. It blends a mixture of the two previous styles for an elegant result that looks beautiful while still looking natural. Dr. Tamplen focuses on the tip giving the rotation and support of the previous feminine slope style, but with just a slight dorsal takedown. This leads to about a 2mm slope between the nose bridge and tip giving patients the profile they always wanted without any indication they had surgery. Dr. Tamplen still focuses on bringing the nostril margin down, so nostrils appear smaller and there is no nostril show on front view, “ The Tamplen Tip”
The Recovery Process and Final Results
Dr. Tamplen focuses on good structure under the skin which allows for expedited recovery. Often patients are thrilled with their results at just 1 week after surgery. Patients may still be swollen or busied but is usually minimal at 7 days. Patients typically see 90% of their results at 6 weeks after surgery and very close to their final result at 6 months after surgery. The nose continues to change with time and patients may see very small changes even years after surgery but with Dr. Tamplen’s signature tip support the change in tip position is very minimal after 6 months.
