What are the types of rhinoplasty?

The consistency of facial features is one of the most important criteria for beauty, and the nose is the main member of the distinctive structure of the face. Thus, a beautiful nose that is consistent with facial features represents the most important component of beauty and a good appearance.

Types of rhinoplasty?

There are many operations used for the purpose of rhinoplasty, including:

• Closed rhinoplasty.
• Open rhinoplasty.
• The process of restoring the tip of the nose.
• Septoplasty.
• Reference rhinoplasty.
• Liquid rhinoplasty.

 

Closed rhinoplasty

The surgeon makes incisions inside the patient’s nose without affecting the skin. The main disadvantage of this operation is the limited vision of bone, cartilage and tissue. However, this type of rhinoplasty causes less swelling than an open rhinoplasty and can provide correction of minor imperfections.

 

When do we choose closed rhinoplasty?

In the event that the patient wishes to make minor changes to the nose, especially on the bridge of the nose and not on the tip of the nose, and also wants to recover more quickly with the shortest possible recovery period, then he is a good candidate for closed rhinoplasty, especially if he has a straight nasal anatomical structure.

 

What are the expected results after closed rhinoplasty?

• Since the incision is made from the inside, there is no trace from the outside.
• Since there is no damage to the vessels and nerves in closed rhinoplasty, the numbness and loss of sensation that can usually occur at the tip of the nose is minimal.
• Little damage is observed in the soft tissues inside the nose and in the skin.
• The presence of wound inside the nose is much less.
• Significant reduction of edema and bruising on the face compared to open surgery.
• The tip of the nose is supported more successfully.
• Post-operative patients have a more comfortable recovery period; Pain and other complaints are much less.
• Patients can return to their usual daily routines within a week at the latest.

 

What problems does closed rhinoplasty treat?

Closed nose surgery is applied to treat the following problems:

• Lower tip of the nose.
• Deviation in the nose
• Arched nose
• Asymmetry between the wings of the nose
• Problems in the back of the nose.

 

Open rhinoplasty

The surgeon makes a small Z-shaped incision on the underside of the patient’s nose between the nostrils. The open method allows the doctor to make more subtle and precise changes to the shape of the nose. Open rhinoplasty leaves a small incision, but with proper care, the scar fades quickly.

 

When do we choose open rhinoplasty?

Open rhinoplasty is generally chosen for all types of noses, since it does not impose any limitations on the surgeon during the operation on the nose. Open rhinoplasty is also suitable for the patient if what is required is to change the size of your nose, remove the hump of the back of the nose, or make Correction on the tip of the nose (hare nose). Also, open rhinoplasty is particularly suitable for those who wish to undergo reconstructive rhinoplasty.

 

What problems does open rhinoplasty treat?

Closed nose surgery is applied to treat the following problems:

• View in the bridge of the nose or in the size and location of the nostrils.
• The lateral appearance of the nose has clear humps or depressions on the bridge.
• The tip of the nose is enlarged, swollen, drooping or upturned.
• Large, wide or upward-turned nostrils.
• Nose asymmetry.

 

Instructions to be followed after rhinoplasty

• Use cold compresses to reduce swelling.
• Use of pain-relieving medications prescribed by a doctor.
• Keeping the mouth open while sneezing during the first days.
• Eat soft foods during the first days.
