Rhinoplasty Techniques and Types

Rhinoplasty is a popular cosmetic operation that was the second most prevalent cosmetic procedure in 2009, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. The fact that nose surgery can take various distinct shapes adds to the complexity of the procedure. As a rhinoplasty surgeon in San Diego, I think that in order to produce the best outcomes for each patient, the surgeon must be experienced in and knowledgeable about the various rhinoplasty techniques.

Techniques: Closed vs. Open

The incision placement for rhinoplasty is defined by the closed and open procedures. The incisions for a closed rhinoplasty treatment are made on the inside of the nose. Incisions are made inside the nose, with an extra incision in the columella between the nostrils, when doing an open rhinoplasty. There are no visible scars with closed rhinoplasty, but it does not allow the same level of access as an open operation. While open rhinoplasty necessitates an incision across the columella, the scar that results is well disguised and fades away after a few weeks to months. The patient's goals for nose surgery will determine whether plastic surgeons in San Diego adopt the closed or open approach.



Rhinoplasty for Ethnics

Because there is no such thing as a "perfect" nose, a rhinoplasty surgeon must consider the diverse aesthetics of different cultures when attempting to restore balance and facial harmony through nose surgery.

The nose of an African American has a low nasal bridge and a wide tip, which is a frequent feature. Typically, an African American patient will request a nose augmentation to improve facial equilibrium.

Most patients with Mediterranean nasal characteristics want to get rid of the hump at the bridge of their nose. In many circumstances, I may advise keeping a tiny hump to maintain ethnic identity while yet getting an improved appearance.

Asian patients frequently want to address a low bridge. Patients can get a natural and appealing look by increasing the bridge and boosting tip projection.

Hispanic noses have a wide bridge and a tip that is slightly underprojected. Many Hispanic rhinoplasty patients have comparable surgical aims as Asian rhinoplasty patients.

It is critical to preserve the patient's cultural heritage throughout any ethnic rhinoplasty procedure. Their history is part of what makes them unique and contributes to their overall beauty; as a result, it is frequently necessary to avoid making major changes to the appearance of the nose.

Rhinoplasty revision

A patient's new appearance is sometimes unsatisfactory following nose surgery. Revision rhinoplasty can help improve the nasal appearance so that a person achieves their initial goal, whether it is because their cosmetic surgeon in San Diego delivered a "nose job" that does not look natural, because they are suffering breathing problems, or for other reasons.

Because of the modifications that have already occurred to the normal architecture of the nose, revision rhinoplasties are often far more complicated than the initial nose surgery. Scar tissue may be present, and the nose's functionality may have been affected, making the treatment more challenging. Implants or grafts can be utilized to rebuild the nose, depending on the demands of the patient. Small deformities in the nose can occasionally be treated using injectable fillers, though these procedures must be repeated over time to maintain the appearance. Because there are various reasons why corrective nose surgery may be required, the surgery will be tailored to each individual.

Various Rhinoplasty Techniques

Rhinoplasty is a medical operation that improves the look of a patient's nose or helps them breathe better. Cosmetic surgeons have invented several rhinoplasty methods over the years to satisfy their patients' expectations, based on their needs and preferences.

The following is a list of the most popular rhinoplasty Santa Barbara surgeries performed by cosmetic surgeons today:

1) Rhinoplasty with a closed bridge

With intravenous sedation, this closed technique can be performed under general or local anesthesia. After the patient heals, the surgeon creates incisions inside the rim of the nose, where they will be entirely covered. The surgeon removes the soft nose tissues from the underlying structures to treat a breathing problem. The cartilage and bone are then reshaped.



Your nasal bones will be delicately shattered near the conclusion of the treatment to minimize the size of your nose. If your nose needs to be rebuilt, your surgeon may use cartilage from your ears, nose, ribs, or bones to generate grafts. Other materials, such as silastic implants, human tissue, or cartilage transplants from a tissue bank, may be used by your surgeon.

To retain and protect the newly-positioned tissues and structures, the surgeon will place a splint on the bridge of your nose. Nasal packing is occasionally applied inside the nostrils to offer support and stop bleeding.

Closed rhinoplasty virtually eliminates the possibility of noticeable scarring. However, compared to the open technique, it does not provide the surgeon with as much flexibility in terms of reshaping options because the surgeon cannot visualize the eventual result as well.

2) Rhinoplasty (open)

Your surgeon will make an incision across the columella, the tiny strip of skin that runs between your nostrils, during this surgery. This allows your surgeon to precisely shape the cartilage and bone in your nose by lifting the skin off the tip. This is because your surgeon can see the interior structures of the nose more clearly, resulting in a better, more predictable ultimate result.

The incision on the underside of the nose heals to leave a very small, virtually imperceptible scar. Scarring is more common in people with thicker skin, olive or darker complexions.

3) Rhinoplasty without surgery

Rhinoplasty doctors are always on the lookout for new ways to create a more natural-looking nose that keeps its form over time. Patients who have had nose jobs in the past have had noses that appear "overdone" and abnormally small in comparison to the rest of their face.

When cosmetic surgeons removed too much of the nose's natural structures, this happened. The nose becomes too tiny and narrow, too upturned and pinched at the tip, as tissues repair and shrink over time.

The goal of today's rhinoplasty operations is to reorganize and reshape nasal features rather than simply remove them. Nasal tissue is retained to the greatest extent possible. Grafts are utilized to stabilize the nose and open up breathing where appropriate.

The open rhinoplasty treatment is great for natural rhinoplasty approaches. You can reduce your risk of scarring and other rhinoplasty issues by having your rhinoplasty performed by a trained rhinoplasty surgeon.

4) Rhinoplasty without surgery

Patients who desire to change the appearance of their noses nearly immediately without having to undergo invasive surgery can benefit from non-surgical rhinoplasty. Patients recover faster and are in significantly less discomfort. They must also pay only ten percent of the total cost of rhinoplasty surgery.

The injection of chemicals such as botox to assist disguise the appearance of humps and bumps on the nose is known as a non-surgical nose job. Patients should not be concerned about the possibility of a larger nose as a result of this procedure. The injection only evens out the nose's profile for a more pleasing appearance. Patients who did not receive an acceptable outcome from their first nose surgery and do not want to undergo revision rhinoplasty will benefit from this treatment.
