Surgical Techniques

Open Rhinoplasty

Open rhinoplasty involves a small incision between the nostrils, allowing comprehensive access to nasal structures. This technique provides surgeons with enhanced visibility and precision during the procedure.

Closed Rhinoplasty

Closed rhinoplasty utilizes internal incisions, making them completely hidden. This technique is typically recommended for patients requiring minor nasal adjustments.

Procedure Details

Rhinoplasty is performed under monitored anesthesia care and typically takes 1-4 hours. Patients can expect initial swelling and bruising, with final results developing over 12 months.
