Open structural rhinoplasty involves reshaping the internal nasal framework to increase nasal projection (Nose Reconstruction). It builds on the existing nasal structure using techniques to lengthen the framework and refine the nasal tip. The procedure may include the following steps:
- Lengthening the nasal tip framework using ear cartilage or nasal septal cartilage.
- Repositioning the nasal structures to create a more projected and refined tip.
- Elevating and reshaping the lower lateral cartilages for a more refined appearance.
- Performing osteotomies along two lines using a specialized technique to narrow the bony nasal bridge and correct deviation or asymmetry.
- Reducing a prominent nasal hump when present.
- Removing excess fatty tissue around the nasal tip.
