Which type of rhinoplasty?

There are two main types of rhinoplasty – firstly closed (or endonasal) rhinoplasty where the incisions are made inside the nose.   Secondly open (or external) rhinoplasty where an incision is made between the nostrils to allow the soft tissues of the nose to be elevated. Fortunately the small scar fades quickly and is then very difficult to see.   The type of rhinoplasty recommended depends upon a number factors. These include the problem which requires correction, whether surgery has been performed previously and the experience and training of the surgeon. There are pros & cons of each approach which need careful consideration so that the best result can be achieved, and your surgeon should discuss these with you.
