The plan for each nose job surgery is created based on the needs of the patient. There are various surgical techniques available for patients to get the look they want.

OPEN RHINOPLASTY

During open rhinoplasty surgery, an incision is made between the nostrils and the fold of the nose just above the lips. This provides the surgeon with a better view of the nasal structures, and it’s easier for him to manipulate the cartilage and bone. The surgeon will peel the skin back and reveal the internal structures of the nose, which are then re-draped after the desired shape has been accomplished. Typically, this procedure will leave a very thin scar, about 5mm long.

NON-INVASIVE RHINOPLASTY

Some patients may require injectable fillers to achieve their desired results. Injectable nose fillers are non surgical and not permanent. These come in a variety of liquids, and fat transfer may also be used in some cases. Fillers help add volume to conceal minor deformities such as bony appearance, or a bump.
