How Does Rhinoplasty Work?
Nose surgery is performed while the patient is under general anesthesia. There are various surgical techniques, depending on what is being addressed. Dr. Do performs nose surgery with either an open or closed technique. The objective during the procedure is to reduce excess cartilage, tissue, and bone, or to build and increase cartilage for a new shape. The nasal features are repositioned while the skin is reformed and draped over the newly enhanced framework. Stitches are positioned either on the inside portion of the nose or within the natural external crease.
