Open and closed rhinoplasty
Depending on the current shape, size, projection, or functional problems of the nose, Dr. Lee may perform the procedure from within the nasal cavity (a “closed rhinoplasty”). In this case, there is no visible scarring. On the other hand, during an “open rhinoplasty”, a small incision is placed at the base of the nose between the nostrils (columella). This approach leaves a small scar, but it allows for greater surgical control. Rhinoplasty, when performed correctly and with advanced techniques, can create a masculine, balanced nose shape that highlights the rest of your features.
