The different rhinoplasty techniques
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that can be performed using a variety of techniques, depending on the patient’s needs and the complexity of the correction required.
Open rhinoplasty
Open rhinoplasty involves making an incision in the columella (the central part between the nostrils) to gain access to the entire nasal structure. This allows the surgeon better visibility and more precise work, particularly for complex corrections such as :
- Modification of the tip of the nose
- Correction of severe asymmetry
- Restructuring of nasal cartilage
Closed rhinoplasty
Less invasive, closed rhinoplasty relies on incisions in the nostrils, avoiding any visible scarring. It is ideal for :
- Minor corrections to the nasal structure
- Slimming the nose without major modifications
- Subtle adjustments to the shape of the nose
Service procedure
At Capital Care, rhinoplasty follows a precise protocol:
Initial consultation and clinical examination
Preoperative planning
Anesthesia and surgery

Results
Our doctor assesses your expectations and carries out a detailed clinical examination. This first appointment allows for an in-depth discussion of your motivations and expected results.
Medical photographs are taken to prepare for the procedure and visualize the desired result. We can also create a digital simulation to help you better understand the changes.
The operation is performed under general anaesthetic and lasts between 3 and 5 hours, depending on complexity. The technique used will depend on your needs. We will explain the technique used in greater detail during your consultations.
After the operation, some swelling and bruising may occur, but this usually subsides after 10 to 20 days. We recommend avoiding sports activities for 4 to 6 weeks to ensure optimal healing. Follow-up consultations are scheduled to monitor progress and ensure a complication-free recovery.
The final appearance of the nose is visible after 6 months, once the healing process is complete. It is essential to follow post-operative recommendations and instructions to optimize results.
Post-operative recovery and care
After rhinoplasty, the recovery phase is essential to guarantee the results you expect and to minimize discomfort. At our clinic, we provide rigorous follow-up care.

Week 1
