There are two main options for the incisions that
a plastic surgeon can use when making changes to
the shape of a nose: closed rhinoplasty and open
rhinoplasty. Closed rhinoplasty involves an incision
confined to the inside of your nose. Swelling subsides
quickly and recovery is fast. However, your surgeon
may have a limited ability to achieve some changes
in your nose because of her or his inability to see
parts of the inside of the nose. Open rhinoplasty
involves a small incision across the columella, between
the nostrils, in addition to incisions on the inside
of your nose. Open surgery is usually preferred in
more complicated cases.
