Open Rhinoplasty is one of the nose augmentation methods performed to reshape the nose. The treatment improves the appearance and proportion of your nose, thus enhancing facial harmony and more self-confidence. The procedure involves making incisions in the middle nose tissues to open up the skin. This is able to correct the nose size in relation to facial balance, the nasal tip that is enlarged or bulbous, drooping, upturned or hooked, and asymmetric noses, etc.

The main difference between open and close rhinoplasty is that open rhinoplasty is performed by making an incision on the soft tissue between the nostrils to lift back the skin for surgery, whereas close rhinoplasty involves no incision on the outside of the nostrils, leaving no scars.

Closed rhinoplasty is considered less invasive and takes a shorter time to complete. However, there is limited space for the surgeons to work on compared to the open rhinoplasty, and hence the free to reshape and stabilization of the nose is easier and more accessible with the open rhinoplasty method.
