  • Differences Between Closed And Open Rhinoplasty


    As the nose is located at the focal point of the face, it is both an organ that attracts much attention and changes the appearance considerably. Rhinoplasty (nose job) operations are used to change the shape of the nose. Rhinoplasty operations can be performed with two different techniques, open and closed. The doctor and the patient should decide together whether the patient should undergo closed rhinoplasty or open rhinoplasty.

    What is Open Rhinoplasty?

    Open rhinoplasty is the operation where the middle pole on the nose is opened by incision. With this incision, the procedures to be performed can be seen directly because the skin of the nose is removed.

    Advantages and Disadvantages of Open Rhinoplasty

    Both techniques have their own characteristics, advantages and disadvantages. In the selection of the technique to be used in rhinoplasty surgery, the shape of the nose, the skin structure and the desired appearance of the nose after the surgery are important.In open rhinoplasty surgery, the doctor works in a much wider area. The doctor makes the necessary corrections easier.The main disadvantage of open rhinoplasty is the possibility of scarring after the procedure. Some cuts may remain in the incisions made during the procedure. Another disadvantage of open rhinoplasty is that edema, swelling and bruises are more frequent than closed rhinoplasty and the recovery lasts longer.

    What is Closed Rhinoplasty?

    In closed rhinoplasty, the incision is made through the nostrils. For this reason, the incision is not seen and there is no remaining after the procedure. Since this process will be done through the nostrils, the field of view is narrow. It is therefore more difficult.

    Advantages and Disadvantages of Closed Rhinoplasty

    In closed rhinoplasty, incisions are made through the nostrils, leaving no scarring after the procedure.In closed rhinoplasty, edema and swelling are much less than in open rhinoplasty. Recovery is also quite rapid.Closed rhinoplasty is an operation that requires much more experience and expertise. Therefore, choosing a doctor is very important for successful surgery.

    Rhinoplasty should be done with closed technique or with open technique?

    Which of these two techniques have their own advantages and disadvantages depends on the patient and the doctor. Some doctors do not prefer to perform rhinoplasty with this technique because the angle of view of closed rhinoplasty is narrow. The technique to be selected may also vary according to the patient's need. Open rhinoplasty is generally preferred if more than one procedure is performed on the nose of the patient. Open rhinoplasty is preferred as vision is very important in second rhinoplasty operations called revision. The patient and the physician must decide together whether the rhinoplasty operation should be performed with closed or open technique. The surgeries performed by a specialist and experienced doctor will give successful results regardless of the technique performed. Therefore, it should be decided which doctor should perform the procedure before the surgery is performed.Esthetic Hair Turkey is the ideal nose design for you with its expert team.
