Hello~

​

💚your beauty universe! This is Uber Plastic Surgery :)💚

​

​

As one of the most popular areas for plastic surgery, the nose is the second most popular after the eyes because even a small change can bring a significant transformation to your overall image.

​

There are two surgical methods for rhinoplasty: the open approach and the closed approach.

Among them, some people prefer closed rhinoplasty, where the incisions are hidden, due to concerns about visible scarring from the surgical incisions.

​

Today, let's explore the pros and cons of open and closed rhinoplasty.💚

​

Open vs. Closed Rhinoplasty: What are the Pros and Cons?

If tip plasty is required, it is much better to use the open approach (incisions on the columella and inside the nose) to perform the surgery while accurately viewing the structure of the nasal tip cartilage.

Since most rhinoplasty procedures involve both the nasal bridge and the nasal tip simultaneously, we recommend undergoing surgery using the open approach.

​

The disadvantage of open rhinoplasty is that it leaves a scar on the columella.

​

Closed rhinoplasty is recommended when tip plasty is not performed, and the surgery only involves inserting an implant into the nasal bridge or shaving down a dorsal hump.

Forcing a closed rhinoplasty (incisions only inside the nose) just to avoid a visible columella scar actually increases the risk of side effects such as implant deviation or a drooping nasal tip.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is open rhinoplasty recommended?

Yes, it is highly recommended when tip plasty is needed. Since the columella and inside of the nose are incised to precisely view the structure of the nasal tip cartilage, it is a suitable method for most rhinoplasties that involve simultaneous surgery on the nasal bridge and nasal tip.

What are the disadvantages of open rhinoplasty?

The biggest disadvantage is that a scar may remain in the columella area due to the incision. However, it is also a recommended method for most rhinoplasties because it allows for precise viewing of the nasal tip cartilage structure during surgery.

When is closed rhinoplasty appropriate?

It is suitable when only nasal bridge surgery is performed without tip plasty. It is mainly recommended for relatively simple corrections, such as inserting an implant into the nasal bridge or shaving down a dorsal hump.

Can I unconditionally undergo closed surgery because I dislike scars?

No, excessive closed surgery is not recommended. If you insist on closed rhinoplasty to avoid scars even when tip plasty is needed, the probability of side effects such as implant deviation or nasal tip drooping becomes very high.
