1. External Rhinoplasty- This is also often referred to as an open approach. The open rhinoplasty is performed through a very small incision on the bottom of the nose, between the skin of the nostrils (called the collumela). This tiny incision is hidden within the shadow of the collumela, is approximately 3 millimeters in length and is not noticeable. The open approach, as the name implies, allows for better visualization and access to the nasal framework then the closed approach.
2. Endonasal Rhinoplasty- This is also often referred to as a closed Rhinoplasty. In the closed approach, there is no small incision along the collumela, instead, additional incisions are made inside of your nose in order to access the nasal structure from within the nose. The rhinoplasty surgeon will then make changes to the bones and cartilages of the nose from within.
