A millimetric incision is made in the skin between both nostrils at the bottom of the nose, or the incisions remain completely inside the nose. The cartilage and bones are given a suitable shape. The nasal skin covers the reshaped nasal skeleton and a new appearance is provided to the nose. In some patients, we use cartilage taken from the nose itself in surgical procedures.
