What is the difference between a cosmetic and a medical nose job?<\/span><\/h2>\n

How is rhinoplasty surgery performed?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Rhinoplasty consists of making small incisions inside the nose, from which it is possible to reshape the bones and cartilaginous components of the nasal skeleton. The techniques used vary from patient to patient and depend on the desired result. Fractures are made at the base of the nasal bones to narrow the nose and lower the back a little.<\/span><\/p>\n

These fractures can also be performed externally, through a 3-4 mm micro-incision, which allows a more precise approach, leaving a residual scar that is practically imperceptible. It is also very likely that some parts of the nose need to be enlarged. In this case, it is necessary to use some cartilage generally extracted from the nasal septum. At the end of everything, the skin spontaneously rearranges itself on the nasal bones.<\/span><\/p>\n
