Atlanta facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Paul Daraei discusses the two most common types of rhinoplasty. Open rhinoplasty utilizes a small incision at the bottom of the nose to elevate the skin and make any changes to the nose. Closed or scarless rhinoplasty places incisions on the inside of the nose and results are achieved from inside the nostrils, with no external scarring and a decrease in bruising and swelling. Depending on each patient’s anatomy and what they are looking to achieve will help to determine which method of rhinoplasty is best to achieve the desired results. If interested in rhinoplasty and determining the right fit for you, it is important to have an in-person consultation with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon.
