Rhinoplasty Surgery (Nose Job)

Open Rhinoplasty: Open Rhinoplasty is the most common method for making any alterations to the nose’s shape. This method allows the surgeon to have free and easy access to all parts of the nose, making any necessary changes. In open rhinoplasty, the surgeon makes an incision right across the columella. The surgeon then lifts the skin and separates it from the nasal tissue underneath; this gives direct access to the nasal structure and offers more choices to the operating surgeon.

Closed Rhinoplasty: closed Rhinoplasty involves a much smaller incision under the nose, which becomes the surgeon’s only access point. Since the patient’s nose skin is left untouched in this method, the post-operative recovery process is much smoother, less painful, and troublesome with the least swelling. Closed Rhinoplasty involves no incision on the external structure of the nose, and all incisions are made internally. In this method, the surgeon performs the surgery through the nostrils.

Alarplasty: a newly-emerged method to change the shape and form of the nose is Alarplasty. The method is more popular with those who want to reduce their nostrils. Alarplasty allows the patient to limit and narrow the alar- the fleshly lower part of the nose.
