Open Technique

It has replaced closed rhinoplasty with successful results in the treatment of nasal curvature, which is a difficult procedure in rhinoplasty. Although it is seen as an advantage that there is no external incision in the closed rhinoplasty method, physicians prefer it because it provides a wide field of view.
The difference between open and closed rhinoplasty is a small incision scar. This scar is a 3-4 mm incision that can be seen when viewed carefully. The most preferred method in rhinoplasty operations around the world is the open nose surgery method. Although closed rhinoplasty is preferred in cases where deformity is not much, the application of this procedure is relatively rare.

In the open nose surgery (open rhinoplasty) method, the tissues that cause the nose to deform are more easily seen and intervened. It is a reliable and successful method preferred for improving breathing function and eliminating nasal curvature.

Who is Open Nose Surgery (Aesthetics) Suitable for?

* The shape of the nose after the procedure is determined in line with the doctor-patient interview before the treatment.
* The doctor takes the current photos of the patient and adapts the planned nose shape to the photo and conveys it to the patient. The final shape and application are determined.
* Open technique rhinoplasty is applied with the incision applied to the outer part of the nostrils.
* In the columella section, a V-shaped incision is made from the nostrils and continued from the inner surface. Thus, the skin and tissues on the back of the nose are lifted.
* With the opening of the nose, the necessary intervention to the bone and cartilage tissue is easily applied.
* This procedure, which takes a long time compared to closed technique rhinoplasty, is advantageous because it can intervene in every tissue and provides a wide field of view.
* With the termination of the process, the incisions are closed by dissolving stitches or normal stitches.

Open nose surgery, which is one of the classical methods of rhinoplasty, is a frequently preferred method in aesthetic interventions made in the appearance of the nose. Open surgery technique is widely preferred by physicians as a primary option.
