Which is the best type of incision in Rhinoplasty. Inverted v or the step incision or parallel lines?

Hello, just wondering why my doctor would do an incision that is two parallel lines, instead of the inverted v or the step incision? The latter is one scar while mine is two scars, although it's healed quite well.
