TYPES OF RHINOPLASTY

Two basic techniques of Rhinoplasty are the Open & Closed Rhinoplasty surgery that is differentiated based on making the incision.

In an open Rhinoplasty, a small incision is made externally across the nasal columella, the tissue between the nostrils is extended inside the nostrils like closed Rhinoplasty. The nasal skin is then folded back and upward, which provides complete access to the nasal structure and passage. The big positive point of this procedure is that it aids in cartilage modulation, and correcting major deformities.

On the other, the closed Rhinoplasty involves the incisions in such a way that are made internally to adjust the structure of the nose. The surgeon navigates under the skin over the bridge of the nasal feature. The procedure provides no visible cut and decreased postoperative edema. As tissue is not under direct vision so many modern techniques of cartilage modulation become difficult. This technique is usually chosen to correct minor nose tip irregularities.

As far as the speciality of Dr. Karishma is concerned, she is well-versed in performing every special kind of Rhinoplasty surgery that is decided based on nose shape, structure, geographical effect or ethnicity, revision case, septorhinoplasty, rejuvenation Rhinoplasty, and many more that may vary from one patient to another due to its highly individualized character.
