Depending on the needs the type of procedure and skin sensitivity, the surgeon uses an ‘open’ or ‘closed’ approach. The ‘closed’ technique means the surgery is performed through the nostrils (intra-nasally). This is best for easy procedures like nasal hump removals and lasts for two hours or so.

The ‘open’ technique is the most conducive for complex procedures where the surgeon needs more space to work on the anatomy, for instance, the tip of nose. To start with, a tiny incision at the base of the collumella (the pillar between the nostrils) is made. To cover up the scarring, the skin of the nose is partly raised to get a more apparent view of the nasal anatomy. Trimming and shaping of the hidden bone and cartilage is required to bring the desired improvement. The tiny incision is stitched at the end.

Immediately after the Nose plastic surgery, you will be taken to a recovery room and you will be discharged as soon as you are ready to go home. You may feel uncomfortable on your nose until the tiny stitches are removed after a week. After this it may feel a little tight. Avoid blowing your nose during the first week. Make sure you prevent any injury to your nose for eight weeks. Do not wear glasses. Wash your face carefully. Avoid vigorous exercise for at least three weeks.
