“Do not have open rhinoplasty. The scar is easy to see, it hurts more and recovery takes longer.” Many people may have heard something like this while looking for information about open rhinoplasty, whether from friends, online forums or reviews passed on by others. Some people start to worry and rule out this technique before a surgeon has even assessed their actual nasal structure.<\/p>\n\n
In fact, open rhinoplasty is not right for everyone, but that does not mean it is a cause for concern in every case either. Many of these beliefs are partly true in some situations, but if you only hear part of the story, you may misunderstand the scar, how you feel after surgery, the recovery period, or even the belief that “only open rhinoplasty can give you a nice nose shape”.<\/p>\n\n
This article looks at 5 misconceptions about open rhinoplasty: which points to check carefully, which should not be generalised, and why choosing a rhinoplasty technique should start with an assessment of your nasal structure, skin, nasal tip and what suits you as an individual, rather than relying only on reviews or what other people say.<\/p>\n
