Hybrid Osteoplasty Versus Osteotomy in Rhinoplasty

This study is designed to compare two common techniques for reducing the nasal hump during rhinoplasty: the traditional method using osteotomes and rasps, and a newer technique called hybrid osteoplasty that uses a surgical drill. Both approaches aim to improve the appearance and function of the nose. The trial will measure pain, swelling, bruising, and the smoothness of the nasal bridge, as well as patient satisfaction and breathing outcomes. Participants will be followed for one year to assess both early healing and long-term results.
