Limitations of Closed Rhinoplasty?

There are no limitations with a closed rhinoplasty. All of the surgical techniques that are performed through an open rhinoplasty can be performed through a closed rhinoplasty. The only difference is not having to make the incision across the columella.

My preferred approach is a closed rhinoplasty.
Critics of this approach say that it is more difficult to perform complex maneuvers of the tip of the nose. They also feel that it is more difficult to work on the septum using this approach.
I have a lot of experience using the closed approach for complex tip and septum work. I personally feel that there is nothing that can't be done using a closed approach.
However, I recognize that some surgeons feel that the open approach is better.
I think that it all depends on the surgeon and how comfortable you feel with the surgeon's ability. If they show you great results that are consistent with what you want, then it really doesn't matter which approach is used.

The limitations of closed rhinoplasty are the lack of the extensive exposure that you have when performing an open rhinoplasty. When a rhinoplasty is particularly complex or requires many grafts, it may be more difficult to achieve with a small incision.
