Open Rhinoplasty

• By: Admin

Rhinoplasty, also referred to as "nose job," is a cosmetic surgery used to enhance the nose's look and functionality. Open rhinoplasty is the procedure of choice for complicated cases because it gives surgeons better access and visualization of the nasal components.

What is Open Rhinoplasty Surgery?

Open rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure used to improve the structure & shape of the nose. It involves making an incision on the columella, a tissue that separates the nostrils, to access the underlying nasal structures. By doing this, the surgeon can lift the skin off the nose, providing a clear view of the nasal anatomy and enabling precise modifications to be made. This approach is particularly useful for more complex cases, as it allows the surgeon to make more significant changes to the nose's structure.

Procedure Steps

1. Consultation: You will meet with your surgeon prior to the procedure to discuss your expectations and goals. After assessing the architecture of your nose, your surgeon will make a customized surgical plan for you.
2. Anesthetic: General anesthesia will be administered to ensure your comfort and safety during the procedure.
3. Incision: The columella, the tissue strip dividing the nostrils, will be incised by the surgeon to access the nasal structures.
4. Reshaping: Using specialized instruments, the surgeon will reshape the nasal bones, cartilage, and tissues to achieve the desired aesthetic outcome.
5. Redraping: Once reshaping is complete, the skin is re-draped over the nose.
6. Closure: The incision is closed with sutures, typically removed after about a week.
7. Nasal Packing/Splints: In some cases, nasal packing or splints may be placed to support the new nasal shape and promote proper healing.

Benefits of Open Rhinoplasty

• Enhanced Visibility: Provides surgeons with a clear view of the nasal structures, allowing for more precise modifications.
• Complex Corrections: Ideal for cases requiring significant reshaping of the nose.
• Customization: Surgeons can adjust the approach to each patient's anatomy, resulting in a more natural-looking outcome.
• Reduced Risk of Revision: Better access to nasal structures may reduce the need for future revision surgeries.
