If no such list or ranking exists, how would I even begin to assess the countless plastic surgeons out there? (you see, I'm not opposed to traveling to get the operation. I just want to make sure I get a really good surgeon...)

Best plastic surgeons who do closed rhinoplasty

There is no definitive list ranking rhinoplasty surgeons. The ASPS website is a good starting point to find a qualified board certified plastic surgeon. Consult with 3 - 4 surgeons to understand your options.

Surgeons who perform closed rhinoplasty

There is no such list ranking closed versus open rhinoplasty surgeons. Look for a plastic surgeon who has performed many thousands of rhinoplasty surgeries and has many before and after photos in their photo gallery. Also look for someone who performs many closed revision rhinoplasties. In our practice we perform the majority of noses closed. We generally perform revision rhinoplasty closed even if the nose has been opened in the past. It is also important to... more

Closed Rhinoplasty versus Open Rhinoplasty

The question you ask is bound to raise some eyebrows among the experts. This a topic that has been hotly debated for many years. There are some surgeons that are particularly passionate about open Rhinoplasty and others that are equally passionate about closed technique. In the end, a surgeon's passion likely reflects his or her own assessment of their work: those that feel they achieve superior results with one particular approach over the other will have a passionate viewpoint... more

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. These changes have been easier with open methods. However, for relatively straightforward problems, a closed procedure is still an excellent solution. In my career, I have moved from 95% closed to about 80% open and my... more

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. Close rhinoplasty is hit and miss because of the lack of observation of the anatomy. I would suggest that you look for the best plastic surgeon for your nose and let your doctor decide which technique is going to work better for you.

Most noses can be treated with closed rhinoplasty.

1) On my RealSelf profile, you can find an article with suggestions for finding a good surgeon you can trust. 2) I would start by eliminating surgeons with less than twenty years experience because younger plastic surgeons pretty much stick to open rhinoplasty for everybody. This is largely what is taught now. 3) And the reason is that for the surgeon doing an occasional rhinoplasty, the open technique is safer. Open rhinoplasty is easier to teach and easier... more

No easy answer

I am a doubly trained plastic surgeons who does a lot of noses and would be glad to see you. Make sure whoever you see answers all of your questions and shows photos of patients they have done. Although I do mostly closed rhinoplasties, sometimes open are performed. If you had a friend who was happy after having their nose done, then they would be a good referral source.
