What does a rhinoplasty procedure involve?
Surgical techniques for reshaping the nose vary. This procedure generally involves the separation of nose skin from its framework of cartilage and bone. This can be done either from an incision made inside the nose or through an external incision in the tissue separating the nostrils. The surgeon then reshapes the nose, replaces the skin over the new framework and applies a splint to help the nose maintain its shape while healing.
