Surgical Techniques

Closed Rhinoplasty

In closed rhinoplasty, incisions are made inside the nostrils. This technique is ideal for minor reshaping and leaves no visible external scars. Dr. Theunissen recommends this approach for patients requiring minimal nose modifications.

Open Rhinoplasty

Open rhinoplasty involves an incision between the nostrils, providing enhanced visibility of nasal structures. This technique allows precise manipulation of bone and cartilage. While minor scarring occurs, the incision is typically less than 5mm and minimally noticeable.

Non-Invasive Rhinoplasty

Non-surgical rhinoplasty uses injectable fillers to achieve subtle nose reshaping. However, this technique offers limited results and is most suitable for minor adjustments. Surgical rhinoplasty remains the recommended option for significant nose modifications.
