I need Rhinoplasty to fix the asymmetry in my nostrils. I went to the two "best" surgeons in the area.The first said I would need Open Rhinoplasty. He also said it was over-projected and the crookedness was not noticeable. He seemed more thorough. The second surgeon said it was minor and he could fix it with closed tip plasty. He said it had good projection and would need a small graft. The computer imagery looked good and I liked what the second surgeon said but how do I know which surgeon is correct? I want it to be very subtle and natural.
Answer: Closed is the best for Subtle Refinement Hello,If you are a primary nose with no previous surgery, you should ONLY consider closed scarless rhinoplasty (preferred by actresses and celebrities) because there is no risk of external scarring and much less healing and recovery time. The goal is to finesse and enhance the nose without drastic change. Meaningful refinement is the key. All the same surgical maneuvers your nose requires can be performed with a skilled closed scarless surgeon. Seek counsel with a board certified plastic surgeon who performs closed scarless rhinoplasty as 100% of his surgical practice so you know you can guarantee the expertise. (aka don't get your nose done by a breast surgeon or a facelift surgeon). Doing your nose the first time with the right surgeon is the key to avoid a botched or revision surgery in the future.

Answer: Closed rhinoplasty is always preferred It is always advisable to have a closed rhinoplasty rather than an open rhinoplasty because of the healing and swelling. If the correction is only very subtle, it may be advisable not to perform any rhinoplasty whatsoever. Asymmetry in the nostrils can be quite difficult to correct.

Answer: Subtle nose correction with Open Rhinoplasty vs closed tip-plasty I completely agree with the previous posting. Great surgeons have produced great results with both techniques so I would go with whichever surgeon you feel most comfortable with.

Answer: Open or Closed Rhinoplasty More important than the route into the nose is the talent of the surgeon. The clues to the doctor's ability comes from how much experience he has, how specialized the practice is and how other similar cases turned out.
