Hello,

💙your beauty universe! This is Weverse Plastic Surgery :)💙

Rhinoplasty is broadly divided into open and closed approaches.

Depending on the purpose and scope of the surgery, either an open or closed method can be chosen.

​

The biggest difference between the two surgical methods is the presence or absence of a columellar scar.

Today, let's find out the differences between open and closed rhinoplasty when undergoing nose surgery.

​

What is the difference between open and closed rhinoplasty?

The open approach involves making an incision across the columella and inside both nostrils to dissect the tissue, allowing the surgeon to operate while directly viewing the cartilage and bone inside the nose.

It has the advantage of providing excellent visibility, enabling the surgeon to shape and secure the structures while looking directly at them.

​

The closed approach involves making incisions only inside the nostrils without cutting the columella, dissecting the tissue, and then proceeding with the surgery. Its main advantage is that there are no visible external scars.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the biggest difference between open rhinoplasty and closed rhinoplasty?

The biggest difference is the presence or absence of a visible scar on the columella (the tissue between the nostrils). Open rhinoplasty involves an incision on the columella, which may leave a scar, while closed rhinoplasty only involves incisions inside the nostrils, leaving no visible external scar.

What are the advantages of open rhinoplasty?

The biggest advantage is the excellent surgical field of view. By incising from the columella to the inside of the nostrils, the surgeon can directly visualize the internal cartilage and bone, allowing for more precise shaping and secure fixation.

Does closed rhinoplasty leave no scars at all?

No, it does not leave any visible external scars. Closed rhinoplasty involves incisions only inside both nostrils, without incising the columella, allowing for dissection and surgery without any externally visible scars.

Which should I choose for rhinoplasty, open or closed?

The appropriate method depends on the purpose and scope of the surgery. If precise work is required, open rhinoplasty, which offers a better field of view, may be advantageous. If you are concerned about scars, closed rhinoplasty can be considered. It is best to decide after consulting with a specialist.
