One of older surgeons in NYC who is trained only in closed approach said it's possible to achieve desired results with closed approach while two other younger surgeons said it's not possible. I really need help selecting a surgeon. Please see attached pic. This is what I expect from my Rhino- 1) Deprojected tip/ reduced length 2) Tip upward rotated 3) Radix taken in and positioned right 4) reduce width/ aesthetic dorsal lines 5) Supratip break 6) Apt Naso- labial angle
Answer: Closed rhinoplasty to reduce the length of a ethnic nose In our practice for over 30 years, we have only performed closed rhinoplasty with excellent results. All of the incisions are placed on the inside of the nose. No external incisions are required, no painful packing is required either. Digital computer imaging of your nose upon your facial features would also be helpful in the education process to understand what can and cannot be accomplished. Study your perspective surgeon's before and after closed rhinoplasty photo gallery to make sure that you see lots of natural results.

CONTACT NOW Answer: For 25 years we nearly exclusively use an external approach for rhinoplasty surgery. Based on your profile photo, you appear to have relatively thick nasal skin with an overprojected and droopy nasal tip appearance and a profile hump. I think your list of expectations is reasonable. Please consider meeting with several reputable rhinoplasty specialists who offer computer Imaging so you could see what to expect after well executed surgery. Hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Answer: Closed vs. Open... If a particular surgeon has years of experience with closed rhinoplasty and you see photos of his/her work and you are happy with what the results are, then it can be done. Many surgeons that utilize only open techniques will tell you it can't be done closed. Open or closed is not important - the scar heals great. The most important thing is the experience of the surgeon and if the before/after photos are something that you really like.

Answer: Closed versus open Rhinoplasty for your nose. Closed versus open Rhinoplasty for your nose. not only could closed rhinoplasty do a good job with your nose, but I think it could do as a better job than open rhinoplasty, and with less scarring and much quicker healing. Those surgeons who grew up with closed rhinoplasty are comfortable with it and very effective. Those who grew up with open Rhinoplasty will be more comfortable with that, and since it is easier to visualize with open, if you learn open first you will probably never want to do closed. I have done longer bigger noses than yours with closed rhinoplasty and gotten excellent results. It’s a matter of what the surgeon has done most of and what he is most comfortable with.

Answer: I would recommend open I do not recommend the closed approach when there is any significant change in tip position, including shortening, deprojection, and significant changes in rotation. Open rhinoplasty allows for direct visualization, precise changes in tip position and stabilization of the tip in the right place, redraping of the skin and soft tissue to match the new framework created during surgery, and release and restoration of the Pitanguy's ligament which acts as a leash on the tip of the nose and is implicated in supratip deformity after closed rhinoplasty.
