Many individuals may be concerned with the size or shape of their nose, considering its important role in facial symmetry. Consequently, many opt for rhinoplasty, a surgical procedure aimed at achieving a more balanced facial appearance.
Nose reshaping procedures are conducted through two main approaches. The closed rhinoplasty method involves surgery performed from inside the nostrils, while an open rhinoplasty involves making a small incision on the nose and lifting the skin. The technique used will depend on the nose area targeted for treatment. Our expert surgeon will let you know which type of nose surgery is most suited for you, and you can raise any questions or concerns during your initial consultation!

The difference between the two types of surgery are quite simple! Closed Rhinoplasty involves external nose correction where all incisions are made inside the nose and subsequently closed. In open nose surgery, an extra incision is made to the skin between the nostrils. This incision allows our surgeon to elevate the skin of the nasal tip, providing access to its structures. Following the procedure, the incision is sutured, and the recovery process proceeds smoothly. Over time, the suture becomes inconspicuous.
