The best outcome during operations and a clear view of all tissues are provided by open rhinoplasty, which is the recommended type of it.

• Closed Rhinoplasty

In closed rhinoplasty job, the swelling that develops after the procedure goes away more quickly.

Comparing the two procedures, open rhinoplasty gives the surgeon more control over the nose's interior, allowing for a clearer reshaping, although the recovery period may take a little longer.
