Rhinoplasty Types – Understanding Different Nose Surgery Techniques

 Home » Rhinoplasty Types

Rhinoplasty, commonly known as nose reshaping surgery, is one of the most delicate and artistic procedures in plastic surgery. At Yoskarn Clinic in Bangkok, every rhinoplasty is tailored to each patient’s unique facial features, aesthetic goals, and functional needs.

Led by Professor Somyos Kunachak, a surgeon with over 40 years of experience, our clinic performs a full range of rhinoplasty techniques—from first-time cosmetic enhancement to complex revision cases—using advanced and safe surgical methods.

Below is an overview of the main types of rhinoplasty we offer:



Rhinoplasty Types, Nose Surgery Thailand


1. Primary Rhinoplasty – First-Time Nose Surgery

This is the most common type of rhinoplasty and is performed on patients who have never undergone nasal surgery before.
The goal of Primary Rhinoplasty is to refine and harmonize the nose with the rest of the face—whether by enhancing the nasal bridge, reshaping the tip, or improving breathing function. At Yoskarn Clinic, the approach is customized to each individual’s anatomy, ensuring results that look natural, balanced, and long-lasting.


2. Revision Rhinoplasty – Corrective Surgery for Previous Nose Procedures

Revision Rhinoplasty is performed to correct or improve the results of a previous nose surgery.
It is a more complex procedure that requires advanced surgical skill and precision. Our experienced surgeons assess both the structural and aesthetic concerns from the previous operation, carefully rebuilding nasal support and restoring harmony to the face. Patients who feel dissatisfied with their prior results can trust Yoskarn Clinic for a thoughtful and realistic correction plan.


3. Open Rhinoplasty – External Incision for Full Access

In Open Rhinoplasty, a small incision is made across the columella (the narrow strip of tissue between the nostrils). This technique allows the surgeon full visibility and access to the nasal framework, making it ideal for detailed reshaping or reconstruction.
Although it may leave a very fine, barely visible scar, the open approach provides unparalleled precision—especially in complex or revision cases.


4. Closed Rhinoplasty – Hidden Incisions Inside the Nostrils

Closed Rhinoplasty involves incisions placed entirely inside the nostrils, leaving no external scars.
It is typically recommended for patients needing moderate adjustments to nasal shape or size. With shorter recovery time and minimal swelling, this technique allows for a more comfortable healing experience while achieving refined and natural improvements.


5. Tip Plasty – Reshaping the Nasal Tip

Tip Plasty focuses on refining the shape, angle, or projection of the nasal tip without altering the nasal bridge or bones.
This procedure is ideal for patients who are happy with the overall shape of their nose but desire a more defined, balanced, or elegant nasal tip. It can be performed as a standalone operation or as part of a full rhinoplasty.


6. Alar Base Reduction – Narrowing the Nostrils

Alar Base Reduction targets the width of the nostrils to achieve better proportion and harmony with the rest of the face.
This is often performed in combination with tip plasty or full rhinoplasty to create a more refined and symmetrical nasal appearance. At Yoskarn Clinic, our surgeons apply precise techniques to ensure natural-looking results without altering your ethnic identity or expression.
