Rhinoplasty incisions are well camouflaged and heal essentially without a trace. Most incisions are placed inside both nostrils. In the “open” approach (most common), an additional incision is made across the columella (a structure situated between both nostrils). These incisions allow to lift of the skin and manipulate both bone and cartilage of the nose to modify its shape and contour. Depending on the ethnic background, reduction or augmentation of the bridge is performed. The nasal tip commonly requires elevation, projection, and some degree of narrowing. At the conclusion of this operation, internal and external splints are placed to ensure the stability of the nose in the immediate after-surgery time frame.
