An open (or external) rhinoplasty is typically done on an outpatient basis under IV sedation.

These incisions allow for more dramatic changes with minimal pain, scarring, and social downtime.
Depending on the outcome you’d like to achieve, your procedure may take anywhere from 1-2 hours. After a short observation period, you’ll be able to head home for a more comfortable recovery.
