Open Nose Surgery

This type of nose reshaping surgery involves small internal incisions and an additional, tiny external incision on the underside of the nose, across the columella. This allows the skin of the nose to be lifted away from the internal framework allowing for greater control over any internal modifications, especially of the nose tip. Recovery time is usually a little longer than that for a closed rhinoplasty.
