A rhinoplasty procedure is carried out internally through the nostrils and surrounding tissue and can take two to three hours to complete. Through this incision, your plastic surgeon can re-contour the cartilage, bones and septum to your precise desires. The procedure can also be performed from an external entry point using the nares while you rest under anaesthetic.
