Closed Rhinoplasty:

Plastic surgeons perform a rhinoplasty using either of two procedures, closed rhinoplasty or open rhinoplasty. Read on to know more about the former.

In a closed or endonasal rhinoplasty the incisions are made inside the nose. One advantage of this procedure is it does not result in any visible scars. The scars that do remain are very faint and fade quickly with time.

A closed rhinoplasty is a bit complicated though and warrants the attentions of surgeons who are exceptionally skilled. Individuals who need to remove a dorsal hump or need minor corrections are the ones who are recommended to have a closed rhinoplasty.

Complexities not withstanding, the healing time for such a procedure is known to be quicker as the chances of swelling are alleviated. The post surgery precautions are also fewer to follow.

At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California, we have highly experienced plastic surgeons that can perform a closed rhinoplasty. Each patient’s nose structure is meticulously studied and based on the anatomical requirements for a closed rhinoplasty this surgery is performed.
