Rhinoplasty Surgery Techniques

For individuals seeking rhinoplasty, or nose surgery, there are a number of techniques and specific target areas which surgeons focus on during the procedure. The nasal bones, cartilaginous areas such as the nostrils, and the septum of the nose are three major areas which receive attention during nose surgery. Technique varies from surgeon to surgeon and may involve less invasive options which allow for quicker recovery periods and less physical trauma to the face.

Most nose surgeries are performed with minimally invasive techniques which can be thoroughly discussed with an experienced facial cosmetic surgeon. Widening or narrowing the nose as well as removing ridges in the nose are common options. Enhancing or changing internal nasal passages to allow for more functional breathing is another reason for nasal surgery which may not necessarily be cosmetic in nature and which involves specific techniques. Creating a new nose structure involves slight changes which are aesthetically pleasing and balanced with the overall appearance of other facial features.
