• Open surgery and closed surgery are two options available for performing the Rhinoplasty surgery. In closed surgery (intranasal), the surgeon makes the incisions from within the nose and in open surgery,  the two incisions are made from the nostril partition ( columella).
• Reconstructive Nose Surgery : This surgery is done to correct any defect or to restore the nasal functions.
• The open rhinoplasty surgery takes more time as compared to closed rhinoplasty surgery.

Procedure of Rhinoplasty Surgery

The surgery is performed under local or general anesthesia. During the surgery, the first step is to make incisions to examine the bones and cartilage that holds the nose. The tissue is also sometimes added in order to get the desired result. For this, many times bone and cartilage can be removed. After the bone and cartilage is arranged again, the tissue and the skin draped again over the structure of the nose. To hold the new shape of the nose, a splint is placed on the outer side of the nose when it heals. Additional support is also provided by placing nasal packing from the inside of the nose.

Recovery from Rhinoplasty

The recovery may take few weeks to heal completely. The surgeon prescribes medication such as antibiotics, analgesics and steroids to aid wound healing. The external cast can be removed after a week.
