Revision rhinoplasty to rebuild tip- Closed or Open approach?

August 30, 2017
Asked By:pignose1995 in New York, New York

In my 1st rhino, my doctor placed a columellar strut which makes my nose tip appear way too short and too upturned and narrow. I am looking to rebuild my tip and especially want to make my nose longer again. A doctor that I am considering for my revision only does closed rhinoplasties. I am nervous that this will not allow for the best result possible due to limited visibility. Is this something I should be concerned about? Would an open approach be better for what I am looking to have done?
