What are the different techniques of rhinoplasties and what are the implications for the success of procedure/recovery?

Hello @LanaT99 An rhinoplasty can open or close, both are techniques to access all the structures that make up the nose, both the cartilage and the bone, there is not one better than the other. Personally I always use the close technique because it does not leave scars. Best wishes!

Personally the term preservation rhinoplasty means nothing and is just a catchy term. If you go to 10 different surgeons you will get ten different ways of doing a rhinoplasty. Personally I do closed rhinoplasty and rarely use cartilage grafts.
