What are the most simple rhinoplasty procedures?

Question

Rhinoplasty consists of many parts which are mostly not easy but what are the most "easiest" or least complex rhinoplasty procedures to undertake? starting with THE easiest/least complex.

William Portuese, MD · Answer

Rhinoplasty is the most difficult operation to perform correctly in the entire field of cosmetic surgery, so there's nothing simple about it. Even in the most experienced hands, 10-15% touchup rates are required six months to one year down the road. The tip of the nose is the most complicated which can require conservative cartilage removal, suture techniques, and cartage grafting techniques. The dorsal hump is usually straightforward, but that also requires osteotomies. For more information about rhinoplasty and many before-and-after examples, please see the link and the video below

This just depends upon the skill of the surgeon.  Some maneuvers will appear difficult in some instances.

Thank you for reaching out. I would honestly suggest visiting a few experienced Board Certified Surgeons in your area to learn about the simplicity and/or complexity of specific rhinoplasty procedures. This will allow you to spend plenty of time with a surgeon and ask plenty of surgeons. Best of luck. Dr. Kim

Victor Chung, MD · Answer

Rhinoplasty is a surgery to improve the shape of the nose for breathing or appearance.The complexity of rhinoplasty does not come from the individual techniques used in the surgery. The complexity comes from evaluating each unique nose and determining which techniques to use. One simple technique can change the balance of all the other features. The challenge is getting all of the techniques in harmony to produce a safe and happy result.
