Rhinoplasty, the
medical term for nose surgery, is one of the most popular
plastic surgery procedures. Nose enhancement can be performed
on any part of the nose, to reduce or increase its size, to
modify the shape and size of the nostrils, tip or bridge of
the nose, or to alter the slope or angle of the nose.
Rhinoplasty may also be performed to correct an injury or
birth defect or to improve breathing problems.
Open Technique
Rhinoplasty: With this
technique, most of the incisions remain inside the nose.
However, there is one incision made across the Columella,
which is the cartilage that separates the nostrils. Once the
skin is freed, it can then be lifted over the nose to allow
the cartilage structure of the nose to be seen. The surgeon
can see the cartilage in its natural state and can make the
appropriate surgical changes to create more aesthetically
pleasing nose. With the open rhinoplasty technique it is
easier for the surgeon to se the structure of the patients
nose, but it leaves the patient with a small permanent scar
across the columella.
Closed Technique
Rhinoplasty: With the
closed technique all of the incisions are made inside the
nose. Then cartilage is pulled out from the nose and shaped.
An experienced surgeon should do this procedure. This
technique leaves no visible scars and achieves a very natural
looking nose. This procedure takes less time than the open
rhinoplasty.
