Types of Rhinoplasty
Prevalently, there are two types of Rhinoplasty, one is reconstructive surgery and the other one is cosmetic surgery. On the first type, generally, reconstruction of the nose is done for better looking especially to change the way it looks. On the former type(cosmetic surgery), it is done to improve the nasal efficiency to widen or narrow down the opening and is commonly done in case of various types of trauma such as accidents or sudden punch on to the nose. In terms of surgery, there are two types of surgery, open Rhinoplasty and closed Rhinoplasty.
