I am choosing a plastic surgeon. By seeing the before and after pictures, I have noticed, that doctors who performed more closed rhinoplasty surgeries have offen also better results. Is it because they have normally more experience?
Answer: Open versus closed Rhinoplasty The argument over open versus closed rhinoplasty has been going on for several years. One of the best observation one of my colleagues has made is that no matter what level of experience you have, since the open rhinoplasty approach was introduced, surgeons who perform both procedures will tend to favor the open approach when the case is more complex. These cases include nasal valve repair, revision rhinoplasty, and when a great deal of tip work may be necessary.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Results of open rhinoplasty vs closed rhinoplasty It is important to choose a facial plastic surgeon that has done thousands of rhinoplasties. Look at many of the surgeon’s before-and-after photos. An experienced surgeon who has done thousands of rhinoplasties can obtain excellent results. Whether the procedure is done as an open rhinoplasty or a closed rhinoplasty is the surgeon and patient’s choice and really should not have any bearing or effect on the eventual outcome. The only difference is that on the open rhinoplasty there is an incision across the columella of the nose, which can be noticeable for several months in the postoperative period.

Answer: Results aren't determined by an open or closed approach When choosing a rhinoplasty surgeon, the MOST important thing is their experience and results. I've seen both fantastic and terrible results from doctors using either open or closed techniques so that does not matter. Doctors are trained a certain way, and that becomes what they are comfortable with, whether open or closed. You should look at the doctors operative experience (doing a rhinoplasty at least every week) and results (a lot of pictures) to decide who will give you a great result.

Answer: Open Versus Closed Rhinoplasty -- Surgeon's Experience is More Important One of the most important factors in the success of your rhinoplasty is your surgeon's experience level. The surgical approach is much less important.

Answer: Surgeons who preform closed rhinoplasty often have more experience Yes, it is true that surgeons who perform closed rhinoplasty often have more experience than those who don't. This is an older technique and is more difficult to teach to new surgeons during their training. For this reason, at many teaching institutions, residents are taught the "open" technique, where the resident can actually see what is being done by the senior surgeon. As a result, many younger plastic surgeons have never learned the "closed" technique, or simply feel more comfortable with the open approach.

Answer: Natural Rhinoplasty results are what counts Interesting observation. You have discovered one of the truths of cosmetic nasal surgery: experience counts. The operation is the most technically challenging in all the world of cosmetic surgery. Superior training, experience and an " aesthetic sense" (inherent sense of what looks right) are the hallmarks of the most accomplished cosmetic nasal surgeons.
