Find Different Types of Rhinoplasty Procedures

Posted by Dr. Debraj Shome on June 3rd, 2016

Whether you have problems breathing or simply want to change the shape or look of your nose, a rhinoplasty procedure may be the solution. You are certainly not alone in your quest for the perfect nose. In 2014, rhinoplasty ranked fifth in the list of most-requested surgical procedures in the world. Before you request for a rhinoplasty procedure, you should know about the different kinds.

Open Rhinoplasty

Major nose reshaping requires open rhinoplasty procedure. This type of surgery requires an incision on the strip of skin that separates the nostrils. This allows a surgeon to work with the nasal anatomy underneath the soft tissue and skin. More control and precision is given to surgeons as open rhinoplasty offers a direct visualization of the nasal anatomy and cartilage.

Closed Rhinoplasty

An incision will also be made in closed rhinoplasty but instead of on top of the nose, it will be made within. Skin will also be separated from the cartilage and bone, and the surgeon can assess the underlying structure. Bone and cartilage can be augmented, removed, or reshaped depending on the structural correction pastor desired nose shape. The good thing about closed rhinoplasty is it only leaves a small scar and will require less surgery and post-operative healing times.

Filler Rhinoplasty

This is a non-surgical approach to correcting the nose. The use of injectable fillers will allow doctors to change your nose shape. It can smooth out bumps and sharp angles and even change the nose’s tip shape. Symmetry can be achieved with filler rhinoplasty. However, this augmentation procedure cannot be used for nose reduction. It is not a permanent solution, and it cannot be used to correct deviated septum and other medical problems. Basically, filler rhinoplasty is for cosmetic purposes only. Some of the fillers commonly used for filler rhinoplasty include Radiese and Juvederm.

Revision Rhinoplasty

Should patients experience any problems or are not satisfied with their initial rhinoplasty procedure, a revision rhinoplasty is usually done. Correction can be done with or without the use of another surgery, depending on what the patient wants or his or her condition.

To find out which type of rhinoplasty procedure is ideal for you, consult with a plastic surgeon. If possible, go to a plastic surgeon that specializes in rhinoplasty for better results.

Always remember that rhinoplasty must be performed by qualified, licensed, and experienced plastic surgeons. If not, you might end up regretting your decision. According to statistics, one out of 10 patients come back for a rhinoplasty revision—and you don’t want to be part of that group.
