Know the difference, Rhinoplasty in Pittsburgh offers open and closed procedures

Rhinoplasty in Pittsburgh has a closed procedure in which the incisions are hidden within the nose. This makes it a little more difficult for the plastic surgeon to visualize the internal structure of the nose, but in well-trained hands, it can achieve the desired results. When alterations are limited to the bridge or minor tip issues, a closed approach may be more appropriate. Rhinoplasty in Pittsburgh also offers an open procedure that utilizes an additional incision across the strip of tissue that separates the nostrils to allow the plastic surgeon better visualization. An open procedure is often the preferred choice for patients who have had previous rhinoplasty.
