Redefining Your Nose
What is Open Rhinoplasty?
At Rhinoplasty Specialists LA in Beverly Hills open rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to modify the structure of the nose. It involves making a small incision on the columella (the tissue between the nostrils) giving the surgeon better visibility and access to the nasal framework. Patients may choose open rhinoplasty for various reasons, including cosmetic adjustments or to correct functional issues such as breathing difficulties. The primary goal is to create a nose that complements the patient's facial features while improving overall nasal function.
Open rhinoplasty is often recommended for complex cases that involve:
- Significant nasal tip irregularities
- Deviated septum (improving both breathing and appearance)
- Revision rhinoplasty (correcting previous rhinoplasty procedures)
- Extensive nasal bridge concerns
For Natural, Lasting Results
What is the Open Rhinoplasty procedure like?
During your initial consultation for open rhinoplasty Beverly Hills surgeons will discuss your aesthetic goals, medical history, and perform a thorough examination of your nose. Based on this assessment, the doctor will create a personalized surgical plan.
On the day of surgery, our surgeon will perform your open rhinoplasty under general anesthesia in our accredited surgical center. The specifics of the procedure will vary depending on your individual needs but generally involve:
- Making the Incision: Your surgeon will make a small incision across the columella and carefully lift the skin to expose the underlying nasal structures.
- Reshaping the Nose: Your surgeon will meticulously reshape the bone and cartilage to achieve your desired outcome. This may involve techniques like trimming, grafting, or repositioning nasal structures.
- Refining the Soft Tissues: The skin is then redraped over the reshaped framework to create a smooth, natural appearance.
- Closing the Incision: The incision is meticulously closed with sutures to minimize scarring.
- Splinting: A splint may be placed on the nose for support and to maintain the new shape during healing.
