Open Rhinoplasty Vs Closed Tip-plasty for Subtle Nose Correction?

August 31, 2009
Asked By:sasha123 in Vancouver

I need Rhinoplasty to fix the asymmetry in my nostrils. I went to the two "best" surgeons in the area.The first said I would need Open Rhinoplasty. He also said it was over-projected and the crookedness was not noticeable. He seemed more thorough. The second surgeon said it was minor and he could fix it with closed tip plasty. He said it had good projection and would need a small graft. The computer imagery looked good and I liked what the second surgeon said but how do I know which surgeon is correct? I want it to be very subtle and natural.
