How Rhinoplasty surgery is performed. The techniques of incisions and modeling of the nose

Rhinoplasty surgery consists in making small incisions inside the nose, from which it is possible to remodel the bone and cartilaginous component of the nasal skeleton.

The techniques used vary from patient to patient, depending on the desired result. Essentially there are two surgical techniques that are used for nose surgery:

  1. open rhinoplasty

  2. Closed rhinoplasty

The expert nose surgery surgeons of the Sante Plus Hospital in Tirana are able to use the two techniques according to the specific case, obtaining the same optimal results.

Open rhinoplasty

Open rhinoplastyit involves an incision on the columella with the aim of then detaching the entire back of the nose and remodeling its internal structures directly.

The open techniqueit may be preferable for clinical cases to be reoperated, so that it is possible to use cartilage grafts exactly in certain areas, place stitches in an absolutely precise way.

The incisions required for open rhinoplasty are both internal and external to the nose. In fact, to access the cartilaginous and mucous structures of the nasal pyramid, the surgeon cuts the columella, which is the flap portion of tissue between the nostrils.

The times of the intervention vary according to the foreseen operative design, but can oscillate between half an hour and an hour and a half. 

Open rhinoplasty

Closed rhinoplasty

This type of procedure, even if it offers a better view of the operation, leaves behind an external scar, however very well hidden under the nose.

Closed rhinoplasty does not involve incisions on the skin, because the modeling of the nose takes place through incisions inside the nostrils, therefore invisible, the cartilages and bones of the nose are remodeled.

At the end of the operation, dressings are placed inside the nose which will be removed after two days and a plaster modeled by the surgeon on the nose, which will be removed after a week.

With the closed technique there is no external surgical incision and access to the bone and cartilaginous structures to be remodeled only from inside the nose.

Precautions after surgery

Rhinoplastyit does not involve any pain and complications are extremely rare. In the first few days the nose is swollen, and eyelid swelling may exist. The bruises and bruises of Rhinoplasty disappear after 5 - 7 days and it is possible to return to daily activities after 8 - 10 days.

During the post-operative period it is necessary to wear a rigid cast for about a week.

After the removal of the retainer the nose deflates gradually and this happens more rapidly for the upper part and more slowly for the tip which can take up to six months or more before assuming the result

Closed rhinoplasty has an excellent aesthetic result, as it leaves no visible mark on the skin, but a great deal of knowledge of the procedure and great expertise are required for the plastic surgeon.
