• Close Technique = this doesn’t require an incision on the outer tissues of the nose. The healing on this technique is quicker because the tissues are less disrupted.

Rhinoplasty aim to minimize scaring from the incisions done outside the nose that is why often times the cut is made inside the rim of the nostrils, the soft tissue are separated from the underlying structure. The cartilage and bone of the nose are then reshaped to get the visualized cosmetic results. The nostrils can be widened or narrowed according to need.
