Rhinoplasty

What are the different types of nose surgery?
Generally speaking there are five main types of rhinoplasty:

Closed Rhinoplasty
A closed rhinoplasty is one of the most popular nose surgeries. During this procedure no scars are left on the external part of the treated area. The surgeon will access the bone and cartilage by lifting the soft tissues of the nose. This surgery is an ideal choice for patients who need to avoid irritation, scarring and are looking for a treatment with a shorter healing time.

Open Rhinoplasty
This procedure is a bit more complicated and more invasive compared to a closed rhinoplasty. It is perfect for people who require a higher level of nose reconstruction. Your doctor will first make a few incisions on the columella. That is part of the skin between the nostrils. This will allow the surgeon to have access on the inside of your nasal cavity. He will then continue to reshape the nose as required. Afterwards the columella will be sutured and a splint will be used to help the patient heal by keeping the nose positioned properly.

Septo-Rhinoplasty
Septo-rhinoplasty is used to correct the way a patient breathes through their nose. For example, it is an appropriate solution for people suffering from a deviated septum. Your doctor will first make an incision in the lining of your nose (mucosa) while lifting it upwards so that any parts which are bent can be repositioned to allow the patient to breathe more easily.

Rhino-tip Surgery
Rhino-tip surgery can be used to reshape the nose by adjusting the structure of the cartilage underneath. Scarring is reduced by performing the modifications on the inside of the nose. Through this procedure, your surgeon can create an ideal nose-tip. That’s why this surgery is popular for people looking to correct a crooked nose or hooked tip.

Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty
Non-surgical rhinoplasty is also a very popular treatment for many patients. During this procedure your surgeon will use a filler to reshape the nose correcting any minor defects. Non-surgical rhinoplasty is ideal for people who are looking for a treatment to make small adjustments to the shape of their nose.
