Rhinoplasty Surgical Techniques

Closed Rhinoplasty

In a closed rhinoplasty, all incisions are made inside the nostrils. This helps keep scars hidden from view. While discreet, plastic surgeons are limited in the changes they can make to the cartilage and other nasal structures.

Open Rhinoplasty

In an open rhinoplasty, an additional incision is made across the columella, the tissue that separates the nostrils. This extra incision helps surgeons make more dramatic changes to the cartilage and other structures of the nose.

Nasal splints are used to help support and protect the nose as it heals from surgery. They can be placed inside or outside the nose. Internal nasal splints are used to support the septum, while external nasal splints are attached to the nose using bandages or adhesive.

Which Surgery Option Is Right for Me?

/

The decision to perform an open or closed rhinoplasty depends on the extent of work that's needed to achieve a patient's aesthetic goals. When patients need more extensive work, an open rhinoplasty tends to be recommended. Dr. Lee will work with you to determine which method is right for your situation.

Revision Rhinoplasty

Correcting a Previous Surgery

Sometimes an initial rhinoplasty doesn't yield the results you want. The bridge may still be crooked, or you may require further tip defining. Dr. Lee can correct a previous nose job by performing a secondary surgical procedure known as a revision rhinoplasty. With revision rhinoplasty, Dr. Lee attempts to improve on the results of the first surgery and achieve a patient's true cosmetic goals.

During a consultation at our Boston plastic surgery center, Dr. Lee will go over your concerns. He will also note previous incision locations, changes to the cartilage structure of the nose, the shape of your nostrils, and other factors that could affect the revision technique.

Each revision is individualized to the patient to ensure natural-looking results and high levels of satisfaction.
