Looking to get a rhinoplasty soon and exploring into open vs. closed rhinoplasty. I like the idea of closed but I don’t know if my nose is too complicated for that. I love the idea of natural subtle changes. I still want a somewhat bigger nose that still looks like my nose because a small swooped nose would not fit my face. Cant wait for some responses! Thank you.
Answer: Rhinoplasty Hello and thank you for your question. You appear to have a bulbous nasal tip, dorsal hump, and over projecting tip. Based on your photographs, you may benefit from a tip refining rhinoplasty, a cephalic rotation of your tip to turn up your tip slightly, and a conservative dorsal hump reduction. The most important and complex aspect of your surgery will be a nasal tip deprojection to make your nose appear less elongated. Nasal tip deprojection requires open rhinoplasty for the best result in my opinion. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and not just a computer animation system. You should be able to view numerous pictures of actual patients with noses similar to yours performed by your surgeon. If you cannot find enough real before and after pictures, then consider continuing your search for a surgeon.

Answer: Closed rhinoplasty candidate Thanks for your question. It’s a bit tough to answer because it really is highly dependent on your surgeon. Some prefer the closed technique while others always prefer the open technique. I think the short answer is yes, you could have a closed rhinoplasty with the right surgeon. In primary cases, a closed rhinoplasty can be a good option if you have the right surgeon and expectations. Best of luck.

Answer: Closed Rhinoplasty Great question! Your procedure could be performed in a closed or "scarless" fashion. It is important to maintain your same overall general appearance and would not want to have a drastic change to your nose - we want to keep it natural and looking like you still. Removing the small hump on your bridge as well as narrowing the bridge and the nasal tip will provide you with a more refined nose that will maintain your appearance. Best of luck and hope this information helps!
