Closed Rhinoplasty or Open Rhinoplasty – Which Technique Suits Your Needs?

Health Rhinoplasty is a complex surgical procedure that reshapes the nose. It may be performed to reduce the dorsal hump, modify the nasal tip, narrowthe nostrils, reduce the width of the nose, change the angle between the nose and the upper lip, and straighten or narrow the nasal bridge.

This surgery requires the services of a highly skilled plastic surgeon. Closed Rhinoplasty and Open Rhinoplasty Closed Rhinoplasty: Closed Rhinoplasty is performed by making incisions inside the nose. The advantage is it does not leave any visible scarring.

This surgery is best suited for one who needs minor changes, like the removal of the dorsal hump. Healing time is short and there is less swelling. Open Rhinoplasty: Open Rhinoplasty makes incisions inside the nose along the nostrils and across the columella (vertical strip).

The cartilage and bone are removed, shaved, or repositioned. This enables the plastic surgeon to see the cartilage in its natural position so they can carry out the procedure easily and accurately. Rhinoplasty must be performed by an experienced plastic surgeon.
