There are two approaches to this procedure–a closed or open approach. A closed approach uses incisions only inside the nostrils but can make visualization much more challenging. This is the less common method. The open approach requires a small incision in the skin between the tip of the nose and the upper lip (called the columella).
During your initial consultation, your plastic surgeon will go over your individual needs and decide which surgical procedure is the best course of action. In both approaches, our plastic surgeons can create a nose that is uniquely yours and is harmonious with your face.
