“Beautiful nose can build your confident, say goodbye to all structural problems of the nose.”
Open Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty is performed using one of two techniques: open or closed.
An open rhinoplasty is a solution for patients who are dissatisfied with the original shape of their nose, such as a short nose, huge nose, crooked nose, pig nose, snub nose, collapsed nasal septum, or who have had rhinoplasty and are dissatisfied with the results.
By doing an open rhinoplasty, the surgeon is able to examine the structure of the nostrils and proceed to treat the problem.
To get the desired form, the surgeon creates a vertical incision under the base of the nose to reveal the structure underneath and fix the original shape that has difficulties, such as bone, cartilage, and the tip of the nose. When the restructuring is complete, the incision will be sutured closed, and your nose will be splinted.
Who is Open Rhinoplasty Suitable For?
Open Rhinoplasty at Wansiri Hospital
Technique #1: Septum Stretching
Stretching the nasal septum is appropriate for patients with a short nose tip, a thick nose tip, or hard membranes. The surgeon will remove a portion of the nasal septum to extend the tip of the nose, allowing the nose shape to be adjusted.
Technique #2: Deviated Septum Treatment
The surgeon will remove some cartilage from the septum and then stitch and shape it to make it straighter.
Technique #3: Osteotomy
The surgeon will employ medicinal materials to reshape your bones in patients with a huge nose, a crooked nose, or a wide nose base.
Technique #4: Hump Reduction
The surgeon will use advanced instruments to grind the bone or lower your hump, resulting in a more appealing nose shape that complements your face.
Technique #5: Interdomal Suture
The interdomal suture is the stitching of the two tips of the front wing cartilage to make the nose smaller in order to improve the dimension of the nose tip.
Technique #6: Tip Refinement
Patients with a thick nose tip, a snub nose, and a lot of fat at the tip must also have the nose tip reduction treatment performed by the surgeon, removing the excess fat surrounding the tip of the nose. The nose wings may be thinner.
Materials Available For Open Rhinoplasty
Reshaping the structure of your nose to make it more appealing and prominent, as well as reshaping the tip to be perfectly refined without the risk of long-term perforation. Alloplastic materials and autografts are common materials for open rhinoplasty. Before performing rhinoplasty, the surgeon will analyze and advise on the best material for the patient’s nose shape.
Alloplastic Materials
- Silicone Ready-made silicone will be reshaped by our surgeon to fit your features.
- Acellular Dermal Matrix (ADM)
Acellular dermal matrix is a soft, sponge-like material that crisscrosses like human skin’s structure, enabling nerve cells, blood vessels, and collagen to proliferate, preventing perforation and lengthening the tip.
Autografts
- Conchal cartilage of the ear is employed. It is used in nasal tip surgery to modify the nasal tip’s position, shape, and protrusion. It also prevents perforation.
- Septal cartilage is the cartilage wall that separates the nose into two nostrils. It is utilized to lengthen your nose and refine your short nose, which has a small amount of tissue. Your nose tip will be reshaped into an attractive teardrop shape.
- Rib cartilage is stronger than any other cartilage. It is used to reshape the tip of your nose or in rhinoplasty without the use of silicone.
If you are experiencing these problems :

FAQS
Am I able to simultaneously undergo an Open Rhinoplasty along with an Alarplasty?
Yes, the patient is able to simultaneously undergo an Open Rhinoplasty along with an Alarplasty
What kind of cartilage is best to use as an implant?
It depends on the kind of nose shape and structure that the patient desires.
In the case that I am unhappy with the results and want to make adjustments, am I able to still use the same cartilage implant?
This depends on the state of the cartilage and whether it is in a condition that is suitable to reuse.
Am I still able to undergo an Open Rhinoplasty if I have previously gotten nose fillers?
Yes, but the filler may need to be dissolved or scraped off 2 weeks before undergoing the procedure.

Yes, they will. We recommend that the patient heals from their conditions before undergoing a rhinoplasty.
