The surgeon makes minor incisions in the nose during a minimally invasive rhinoplasty. Small pockets are used for surgery, and tiny instruments are used. The skin covering the nasal bones and cartilage is lifted, allowing access to the interior of the nose. Depending on the patient’s nose, either bone or cartilage is removed, reducing the size and form of the nose, or cartilage is transplanted, usually from the septum, to augment the nose. The nasal skin is repositioned and wounds are closed after the nose has the correct size and shape.

Minimally invasive rhinoplasty reduces recovery time and bruising even further, and it leaves little to no evidence of surgery. This is a type of closed endonasal, or internal rhinoplasty, with smaller incisions and less dissection, making the surgery more complex. All incisions are made internally, with no visible scars or discolouration. Making smaller incisions offers the surgeon less space to work in. As a result, pre-operative imagery and a thorough analysis are critical in predicting the movements that must be performed.   This is done while restoring facial harmony and keeping an absolutely natural and unspoiled appearance.

They do not require gauze packing and, in some situations, nothing at all in the nose. Small plastic splints are hollow, allowing patients to breathe easier than before surgery. Patients almost always breathe better after having those removed.

Several characteristics distinguish minimally invasive rhinoplasty from other techniques. “It includes the use of an endoscope, which is a tiny camera that allows us to precisely visualize what we’re doing inside the nasal cavity.” We also utilize extremely small drills to shift bone and retain nasal structures that are essential for nose support.
