No. There are two approaches to nose surgery (rhinoplasty) that Dr. Harmon employs. The first and most commonly performed technique by most facial plastic surgeons utilizes a small, 3 – 4 mm incision at the center of the base of the nose with the remaining incisions inside the nose. This technique may be ideal for individuals who have had a nose surgery (rhinoplasty) previously. It may also be ideal for an individual who desires extensive changes to their nose. In contrast, Dr. Harmon offers a technique called a closed, or endonasal, rhinoplasty. This may be more appropriate for an individual who desires less extensive changes. All of the incisions are located inside the nose and are, therefore, hidden. There is typically much less swelling and bruising with this approach. Healing is faster overall. Dr. Harmon is one of the few surgeons in the country trained in this technique.
