In closed rhinoplasty, all incisions are placed inside the nostrils with no external marks. In open rhinoplasty, a very small incision is placed across the columella, the narrow strip of tissue between the nostrils, which typically heals to a barely visible fine line. The procedure is safe when performed by trained specialists using advanced techniques in a sterile environment, as at Galwa Care Hospital.

Yes, functional rhinoplasty corrects internal structural issues such as a deviated septum to meaningfully improve airflow and breathing comfort. Results are long-lasting and stable once healing is fully complete, which takes up to 12 months. The nose retains its refined shape for many years, though the very gradual natural aging process may have a subtle influence on nasal soft tissues over decades.

Individuals whose nasal development is not yet complete, those with uncontrolled medical conditions, active infections, or significantly unrealistic expectations about outcomes may not be suitable candidates. A thorough consultation at Galwa Care Hospital assesses all of these factors honestly and helps every patient understand exactly what can be achieved for their specific anatomy and goals.

Yes, rhinoplasty is commonly combined with chin enhancement, facial contouring, or other procedures to achieve comprehensive facial balance. Combining procedures in a single surgical session can be efficient and allows the surgeon to plan corrections that complement each other aesthetically. Suitability for combined procedures is assessed individually during consultation.
