EXAMPLES: use the ones from BeckerCenter – You used to have an open vs closed example in surgical techniques, but don’t know which to use here. Fortunately, there are no major disadvantages to either approach. However, each approach has special advantages for specific situations. Since every nose is different and has unique surgical requirements, Dr. Becker discusses the options with each patient and am happy to describe my surgical plan in detail.

Question: Where are the incisions? Answer: The incisions are just inside your nostrils, where they are hidden from view. The exception is the open rhinoplasty, where an additional small (3 to 4mm) incision is made across the tissue between the nostrils. Question: What kind of advanced technology and modern techniques does Dr. Becker use to achieve faster healing and more precise surgery? Answer: Dr. Becker has designed a number of specialty instruments for rhinoplasty. These instruments are smaller to allow him to perform more exact surgery.
