Rhinoplasty is one of the most popular types of cosmetic surgery that enhances the appearance of your nose. It is a plastic surgery that reshapes your nose by modifying the bone or the cartilage. Popularly known as a “nose job,” it is generally performed as an aesthetic rhinoplasty to improve how your nose looks or a medical rhinoplasty to improve breathing and nasal function. Rhinoplasty can effectively correct a deviated septum or a broken nose. There are two types of rhinoplasty- open and closed.
In this article, we will discuss the closed type of rhinoplasty, its indications, procedure, and complications associated with the surgery, while also exploring the significant differences between an open and closed rhinoplasty.
Closed rhinoplasty, also known as endonasal rhinoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure that helps alter the size and shape of your nose to enhance your overall appearance. It involves incisions (cuts) made inside the nostrils and the nose, with minimal scarring on the outside. It is a minimally invasive procedure with less swelling and bruising, quick recovery time, and minimal risk of visible scar when compared to open rhinoplasty. Closed rhinoplasty is typically used to reshape the tip of the nose, shorten the nose or it also aids in getting rid of a bump (dorsal hump).
Closed rhinoplasty finds its application for various aesthetic and medical reasons as well. It is indicated in the following conditions:
Closed rhinoplasty is an in-patient procedure that requires hospitalization for 1 to 2 days, and is usually done under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. It involves the following steps:
Closed rhinoplasty is safe since it is a minimally invasive procedure with quick recovery and faster healing. However, closed rhinoplasty is also associated with certain complications
During an open procedure the surgeon can have easy and clear access to the and visibility of the surgical site, which increases the precision Here the precision may be compromised since it involves access from inside the nostrils which hampers the surgeon's visibility of the surgical site The incisions are made on the exterior of your nose on the fleshy column between the nostrils The incisions are made in the inside of the nose, on the cartilage that separates the two nostrils Open rhinoplasty has longer operation time Closed rhinoplasty has a shorter operation time Since the incisions are made outside the nose, the resulting scar is clearly visible The scar is not visible since the cuts are made inside the nose Since it is an invasive procedure involving a large incision, recovery is longer ( 3 to 4 weeks) Recovery is shorter since it is a minimally invasive technique (2 to 3 weeks)Parameters
