This is achieved through open rhinoplasty, which is able to add height and length to the nose and refine the nasal tip. A piece of cartilage is harvested from the ear and used over the nasal tip to provide a natural contour.

2) Closed Rhinoplasty: This is a less invasive procedure that leaves no external scar. The incision is made within the nose, and there is limited visualization.

Highlights:

RHINOPLASTY SERVICES

Dr Leo Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery performs two nose job procedures:

1) Closed Rhinoplasty: Also called endonasal surgery, this procedure involves creating incisions inside the nostrils to access the nose bone and cartilage. This type of rhinoplasty is less invasive and does not leave visible scars.

2) Open Rhinoplasty: An incision is created at the base of the nose bridge, and the skin is folded up for better access to the nose bone and cartilage. This is more invasive but effective in more serious conditions like a disfigured nose. The incision will leave a scar and will take a longer time to heal.
