Rhinoplasty is performed either using a closed procedure, where incisions are hidden inside the nose, or an open procedure, where an incision is made across the columella, the narrow strip of tissue that separates the two nostrils. Skin is gently raised allowing access to the underlying bone and cartilage. An overly large nose may be reduced by removing bone or cartilage. Sometimes surgery of the nose may require the addition of cartilage grafts. These cartilage are taken from septum, and occasionally from ear or ribs. If the septum is deviated, it can be straightened and projections inside the nose reduced to improve breathing.
