open means that the plastic surgeon makes an incision between the nostrils;
closed is an incision made inside the nose and is used mainly to make minor adjustments to the shape and structure of the nose.

Readjustment and remodelling

This stage of the surgery focuses on obtaining the desired shape and shape of the patient’s nose.

So, in cases where the nose decreases in size, the surgeon can remove part of the extra cartilage or even bone tissue.

Septum adjustments
