There is no universal type of nasal surgery that is useful for all patients. Rhinoplasty is different for each patient depending on their needs. The incisions can be made on the nose (open-external rhinoplasty) or hidden inside the nostrils (internal-closed rhinoplasty). In some situations, cartilage grafts are required either from the nose itself or from other areas of the body to help achieve adequate nasal structure. Internal nasal surgery to improve nasal breathing can be performed at the same time as Rhinoplasty. The best candidates for this type of surgery are individuals seeking an improvement in the appearance of the nose. Rhinoplasty can be performed in conjunction with other surgeries.
