It is the procedure involves performing a surgical operation by making a surgical incision in the lower part of the nose.
It is performed through a small incision made on the skin between the nostrils. Opening this part provides the surgeon with a wider field of vision. In general, the procedures performed on the cartilage and bone are the same procedures performed with the closed technique. Open rhinoplasty technique can be preferred in patients with advanced deformity or in patients with a history of aesthetic operation called secondary surgery. However, according to the closed rhinoplasty technique, the healing of edema and bruises on the nasal tip may take longer.
In order to decide on the surgical technique, the patient's condition should be evaluated properly. Despite the small differences between the closed and open techniques, the most ideal way is to select the surgical technique that will ensures optimum results in rhinoplasty, which is a result-oriented procedure.
