Rhinoplasty is an operation that many people who are not satisfied with their nose want to have done today. Since the nose is in the middle of the face, the appearance of the nose completely affects the appearance of the face. For this reason, rhinoplasty is one of the most popular aesthetic operations. Rhinoplasty surgery is divided into two as open rhinoplasty and closed rhinoplasty according to the technique.
What is Closed Rhinoplasty?
Closed rhinoplasty, also known as scarless rhinoplasty, is performed with incisions made through the nose. Therefore, there is no scar visible from the outside as a result of the surgery. With incisions made under the wings of the nose, the surgeon can intervene in the bridge of the nose and the tip of the nose. In this operation, the nasal arch is removed without changing the structure of the nasal bones. Closed rhinoplasty is generally recommended for less problematic noses. Open rhinoplasty will be more suitable for noses with breathing problems and more problematic appearance. In closed rhinoplasty, since the operation is performed through the nose, it is a procedure that requires mastery and experience. Although open rhinoplasty is generally preferred today, closed rhinoplasty is also the first choice for some patients due to some advantages.
What are the Advantages of Closed Rhinoplasty?
• First of all, since the incisions are made inside the nose in this method, no surgical scars are visible from the outside. This is the reason why this method is called scarless rhinoplasty. It eliminates this problem for patients who worry about the surgical scar.
• In the open rhinoplasty method, the nasal skin is removed by making an incision from the bottom and the procedure is performed in this way. In the closed rhinoplasty method, the procedure is performed from the inside without lifting the nasal skin. Therefore, postoperative swelling and bruising problems are less common in this method.
• One of the biggest advantages of closed rhinoplasty is that the healing process is faster. Since bruising and swelling are less, patients undergo the healing process faster. However, the final results of the operation are also achieved more quickly.
• Another advantage of this operation is that the operation time is relatively shorter. When performed by experienced and specialised doctors, closed rhinoplasty takes less time than open rhinoplasty.
What are the Disadvantages of Closed Rhinoplasty?
Closed rhinoplasty has advantages as well as disadvantages. The doctor decides on the operation method by evaluating the patient’s nose structure, advantages and disadvantages. We can list these disadvantages as follows:
• First of all, in this surgery, since the doctor performs the operation in a completely closed tunnel, the field of movement and vision is more limited. In this surgery where the nasal skin is closed, it is more difficult to see the problems in the nose and to perform the operation as desired. For this reason, it is very important that this operation is performed by experienced and specialist doctors.
• In closed rhinoplasty for patients with nasal arch, this arch is removed using special instruments. However, the structure of the bones is not changed. When closed rhinoplasty is performed in patients with large nasal arches, some problems may be seen in the nose after the arch is removed because the nasal bones will remain open. For this reason, this operation is generally applied to people with small nasal arches. Closed and open rhinoplasty surgeries have advantages and disadvantages compared to each other.
Today, both of these techniques are frequently preferred by doctors. Before performing closed rhinoplasty, the doctor should make this decision by evaluating the patient’s nasal structure, health problems and expectations.
