Rhinoplasty at Dorak Health

-Open Rhinoplasty

Open rhinoplasty is a commonly used technique for nose reshaping. It involves making a short incision across the central part of the base of the nose, known as the columella. By lifting the skin, the surgeon gains direct access to the underlying cartilage and nasal bones, allowing for precise reshaping. A specialist plastic surgeon utilizes specialized tools to carve and shape these structures during the procedure.

-Closed Rhinoplasty

In certain cases, a rhinoplasty can be performed using small incisions kept within each nostril, known as a closed rhinoplasty approach. The benefit of this technique is that scars are usually hidden inside the nostrils.  However, the drawback is that the surgeon has limited and indirect Access to the intricate structures inside the nose since they are operating through a small opening. Generally, an open rhinoplasty is considered a better option due to its greater accessibility and visibility.

-Septoplasty Surgery

Septoplasty surgery is suitable for patients experiencing reduced airflow or difficulty breathing through their nose. This procedure enables a plastic surgeon to correct the nasal septum, the wall between the nostrils, and the inner structures in the upper part of the nose. Correcting a deviated septum or addressing internal nasal structures can have positive effects. While not applicable to everyone, septoplasty may improve snoring in some individuals.

Ethnic Rhinoplasty

Ethnic rhinoplasty is a specialized form of nose job surgery that aims to achieve natural and harmonious results while preserving the patient's ethnic characteristics. During this procedure, the focus is on providing suitable changes that will make the patient happy without significantly altering their appearance.

-Asian Rhinoplasty

Asian Rhinoplasty is a specialized form of cosmetic nose reshaping specifically designed for individuals of Asian heritage. It typically requires a distinct approach compared to a standard rhinoplasty. In Asian Rhinoplasty, nasal bridge augmentation (upper nose surgery) is often involved to enhance nose contours around the eye and upper cheek areas. It is crucial to perform Asian Rhinoplasty with great care to achieve natural-looking results while ensuring optimal nasal function.
