Nose reshaping is performed for multiple reasons such as hump reduction, narrowing, shortening or tip definition.
Longer noses can be shortened, asymmetry can be modified and nasal tips can be rotated to improve the naso-labial angle.
Usually performed under general anesthesia, most rhinoplasty surgery incisions are inside the nose, although a skin or OPEN RHINOPLASTY approach may be necessary.
Open rhinoplasty requires a nasal columellar incision, which heals well and usually is not visible. We choose this approach when certain factors require correction, such as major tip asymmetry, mid-1/3 nasal collapse and
rhinoplasty revisions.
