Is Closed Rhinoplasty Best for a Droopy Tip Surgery?

germangirl1990
I consulted with doctors who do closed rhinoplasty, and I consulted with ones who do open. Closed seems less risky and more simple for some reason to me, but I am concerned that the results won't be as good. I have a droopy tip that I want to be lessened (same tip, just less droopy) Also, I don't want my nose to be longer from the side. For this procedure, is closed better than open or not?
