What is Nose Cosmetic Surgery (Rhinoplasty) Rhinoplasty or nose plastic surgery is done to change the shape of the nose or to improve its function. It is done to correct breathing problems related to the nose or correct disfigurement from trauma or birth defects. The upper half of the nose comprises of bone and the lower half is made up of cartilage. Rhinoplasty can modify bone or cartilage or both to give you the desired functionality and appearance. Different Procedures of Rhinoplasty Open Rhinoplasty: This procedure is used for reshaping of nose. During the surgery, the doctor makes an incision in the strip of skin separating the nostrils. The skin and soft tissue is lifted off and the surgeon works with the underlying nasal anatomy. The advantages of Open Rhinoplasty is that the surgeon a can directly see the cartilage and other nasal anatomy, and is able to manipulate the nasal shape with more control and precision. Closed Rhinoplasty: The incisions are made within the nose and the skin is separated from the bone and cartilage, allowing the surgeon access to the underlying structure. The bone and cartilage can be reshaped, removed or augmented to get the desired shape or structure. The main advantage is decreased amount of time in surgery, less swelling and less postoperative healing time. Revision Rhinoplasty: It is also known as Secondary Rhinoplasty because it’s a second surgery performed to correct problems that have developed and persist after a previous surgical procedure on the nose. The problem could be one of appearance or the patient does not like the outcome of the first surgery, due to some structural difficulty or because of a trauma to accident occurring after a person has already had nose altering surgery.
