Introduction
Achieving facial harmony requires a delicate balance of features—and the nose plays a crucial role in this symmetry. At Allure Medspa, we emphasize precision in rhinoplasty, especially when the open rhinoplasty technique is chosen. Often called “open nose surgery,” this method has become a go-to option for patients seeking detailed refinement.
Below, learn why open rhinoplasty is selected for precise, balanced results and what to expect from the procedure.
What Is Open Rhinoplasty?
Open rhinoplasty involves a small incision on the columella—the tissue between the nostrils—to access internal nasal structures. Unlike closed rhinoplasty (incisions inside the nostrils), the open approach allows the surgeon to gently lift the nasal skin, providing a full view of cartilage and bone for fine, controlled adjustments.
Purpose of Open Rhinoplasty
Open rhinoplasty offers superb precision by directly exposing the nasal framework. It’s particularly beneficial for:
- Crooked nose / significant asymmetry
- Nasal tip enhancement (definition, rotation, projection)
- Post-trauma correction or revision rhinoplasty
Benefits & Expected Results
- Stable, long-term results
- Improved breathing and nasal function (when functional issues are addressed)
- Natural-looking aesthetics with better symmetry and balance
- Enhanced self-confidence and self-image
- Lower risk of future revisions when performed precisely
How Safe Is Open Nose Surgery?
Open rhinoplasty is a well-established, reliable technique. The clear, unobstructed view of internal structures helps the surgeon reshape and reinforce the nose accurately, which can reduce complications. Advances in surgical methods and anesthesia have further improved safety and recovery experiences.
With proper post-operative care—managing swelling, protecting the nose, and following your surgeon’s instructions— most patients experience a smooth recovery and achieve the planned outcome over time.
Conclusion
Open rhinoplasty provides a precise path to a balanced, natural-looking nose that enhances both appearance and function. While a small columellar scar is expected, it typically fades well and is minimally noticeable when the procedure is performed by an experienced surgeon.
