Mini open rhinoplasty is a technique in which the incision is in the middle, just like the open rhinoplasty. The surgeon makes the incision at the columella (inside of both nostrils), allowing the nasal structure correction at the tip of the nose, providing a more beautiful, slim, and refined nasal tip.
Ideal for
A person who wishes to have a high-bridge nose
A person who wants rhinoplasty with nasal structure correction
A person who needs to refine and slim the nasal tip
A person with less nasal skin thickness
A person who needs rhinoplasty with other corrections
A person with a nasal hump, a large or a thick nose

Approximately 7-21 days, depending on the individual.
How long does it take after mini open rhinoplasty to take shape?

How long does it take to remove stitches after mini open rhinoplasty?
Generally, stitches can be removed within 1-2 weeks after surgery, depending on the technique used.
Does mini open rhinoplasty hurt? How long does the recovery take?
A local anesthetic is applied, so there is no pain during the procedure. During the first few days after surgery, mild pain is possible, but it will improve.
What is the difference between mini open and open rhinoplasty?
Mini open is a technique that opens the nasal structure to reshape the nasal tip, not the entire nose, as the open technique does.
