Advanced Rhinoplasty Techniques
Malone Facial Plastic Surgery offers two primary rhinoplasty approaches:
Open Rhinoplasty
A technique involving a small external incision that allows comprehensive nasal reshaping with minimal visible scarring. This approach provides maximum precision for complex nasal corrections.
Closed (Scarless) Rhinoplasty
A minimally invasive technique performed entirely through internal nasal incisions. This method reduces healing time and leaves no external scars, ideal for patients seeking subtle refinements.
Candidacy for Nose Reshaping
Ideal candidates for rhinoplasty include individuals in good physical health seeking to improve nasal appearance or function. Dr. Malone conducts comprehensive consultations to determine the most appropriate approach for each patient's unique needs.
