Sometimes you can look at a person and know they have had a nose job, yet if the plastic surgeon is highly skilled, he or she can reshape the nose in a way that looks perfectly natural, in harmony with the face. There are a number of techniques the surgeon might use to achieve the desired result, which include the following:
- Open Rhinoplasty – This involves making tiny incisions on the soft, thin tissue between the nostrils, which allows the surgeon to access bone and cartilage, and there is minimal scarring, thanks to the skill of the surgeon.
- Closed Rhinoplasty – This procedure requires making incisions in the inner nostrils, which means there is no visible scarring. Which technique the surgeon uses depends on the expected results and the make-up of the nose, which is something the specialist would discuss at great length with the client.
There are many techniques the surgeon might use and he would always explain in detail how the process is carried out, as it is essential that the patient is fully aware of what the operation entails.
Cartilage Manipulation
A skilled plastic surgeon can often achieve the desired results by manipulating cartilage, which avoids having to use a substance like Botox or a dermal filler, making the treatment far more natural, as no foreign materials are used.

Initial Consultation
There are several objectives for the plastic surgeon during the initial consultation, including understanding exactly what the client is looking for, plus the surgeon would make the client aware of the risks involved with surgery. The initial consultation would be free of charge, and should the surgeon feel he was unable to help, he would let you know, although most of the time, what the client wants is possible.
Grafting
Sometimes the plastic surgeon can graft a small amount of bone or cartilage from another part of the body and this can be used to add contour to the nose. The surgeon would show you many before and after images, which helps you to make a decision on how you would like your nose to look.
