A rhinoplasty is an aesthetic procedure for the nose. In this surgical procedure, the function and/or shape of the nose is changed by removing or adding cartilage and/or bone.
There are two kinds of treatments:
With a closed rhinoplasty only internal, and therefore invisible, incisions are made.
With a open rhinoplasty a small incision is made in the skin between both nostrils. Although a small incision is made in the skin, the scar usually heals well and is practically invisible.
