Types of Rhinoplasty
– Surgical
– Non- surgical
Surgical Rhinoplasty
• Approaches for surgical Rhinoplasty can be classified as
– Open/ External
– Closed/ Internal

• The purpose for these two vary depending on the nature, medical
reasoning etc. for nasal reconstruction
• Internal Rhinoplasty involves making all incisions from inside the
nasal cavity and does not include the cutting of columella*
• External Rhinoplasty technique involves a skin incision across the
base of the nasal columella*
• This is regarded to be a complicated surgery
* Columella: The strip of skin separating the nostrils
Non – Surgical Rhinoplasty
• A medical procedure in which injectable fillers are used to alter and
shape a person's nose without invasive surgery
• The procedure fills in depressed areas on the nose like
– Lifting the angle of the nose tip
– Smoothing the appearance of bumps on the bridge etc.

• These are used for minor corrections
Types of Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty
Must know!
• Rhinoplasty is among the most difficult of all cosmetic
surgeries
• It is a procedure that need only be performed once in
a patient’s lifetime if carried out with surgical
expertise and an aesthetic understanding
• The surgery generally lasts around a couple of hours
and is performed under a general anesthetic
• A strong and well-proportioned nasal skeleton is the
key to a successful surgery
• Rhinoplasty is more than just a cosmetic surgery as
breathing disturbances due to distortion, swelling of
the internal structures of the nose, etc. can be
corrected through this
