Before & After
Rhinoplasty Types & Techniques
Open
Rhinoplasty
The “open rhinoplasty” technique involves creating an incision along the width of the columella and lifting the skin to allow greater visibility and increased precision. When needed, our rhinoplasty surgeons implement this technique to gain full access to the nose’s delicate architecture, including the elegant scaffolding at the nasal tip.
Closed
Rhinoplasty
Closed rhinoplasty requires a more precise technique to access the inner nasal structures via the nostrils and involves making fewer incisions which minimize scarring. A closed rhinoplasty may be appropriate for minor corrections and reshaping. This method is less invasive, which means a faster recovery time and less post-procedure swelling than in open rhinoplasty.
Tip
Rhinoplasty
A tip rhinoplasty, also known as a mini nose job, is performed to improve the shape of the nasal tip by either augmenting or reducing the appearance of the nasal alars and cartilage without operating on the nasal bridge or bony structure. This simple procedure aims to improve facial aesthetics with minimal scarring.
Septorhinoplasty
A deviated septum can cause nasal blockage and make breathing difficult when exercising, eating, and speaking. Septorhinoplasty involves performing a deviated septum surgery and a traditional nose job at the same time to improve the appearance and function of the nose.
Revision
Rhinoplasty
Revision rhinoplasty is an option taken by patients who have undergone previous unsatisfactory surgery elsewhere or have problems breathing through the nose. The nature of your revision rhinoplasty will be dependent on your specific goals. Some revision rhinoplasty cases involve a complex nose reshaping, while others can be simple, such as removing excess bone in the nasal bridge.
Ultrasonic
Rhinoplasty
Ultrasonic rhinoplasty, also known as diamond rhinoplasty, is the latest and most advanced cosmetic nose surgery technique for precision nasal bone sculpting with less bruising and swelling and a quicker recovery. The main advantage of this technique is the increased precision afforded through using the piezotome device, and results after ultrasonic rhinoplasty are better compared with a traditional open rhinoplasty.
The Gulf Nose
Rhinoplasty
This term refers to patients from the gulf region who have thicker skin and softer cartilage compared to Caucasians. Thus, they require different surgical techniques to help them achieve the desired look while maintaining their unique ethnic identity.
Caucasian/Mediterranean
Rhinoplasty
Our rhinoplasty surgeons have extensive experience in rhinoplasty techniques suitable for Caucasian/Mediterranean noses. They achieve amazing results while preserving the unique ethnic features of the nose.
African and Asian
Rhinoplasty
This type of rhinoplasty is requested by patients of Asian or African descent to make subtle or major changes to the nose, usually the nose bridge or nostrils, while maintaining their unique ethnic identity.
