●     Incision: A small incision is done to your nose, it would be inside the nostril too but in most cases, it is between the skin (bridge) that is present between two nostrils.

●     Manipulation of Skin: During the rhinoplasty process, the skin present on the nose is dragged up and down for better visibility to the surgeons. This will also have an impact on the healing process.
