Where can I find the best plastic surgeons who do closed rhinoplasty?

Closed or Open Rhinoplasty

There is no list of surgeons doing closed rhinoplasty, as almost all surgeons do some rhinoplasties closed. As we have learned better methods of correcting the different problems of the nose, we have reduced how much we resect and increased the support provided to the nose.

Why do you want to have open rhinoplasty

There are very few indications for the open rhinoplasty. Majority of  plastic surgeons prefer the open rhinoplasty . The reason is the predictability and also long term lasting result.
