I'm 17 years old and my nose has been bothering me forever. I am considering Rhinoplasty and based on what I have studied and read, open surgery will take MUCH longer to heal than closed surgery. I just want to get the big hump removed and get the "bird beak" turned into a normal, straight nose. That's all and I don't think I want the front changed at all. Will an open surgery be needed for this and will my dream nose take a lot of drastic work to achieve? I prefer the truth. Thanks for the help. : )
Answer: Closed rhinoplasty and healing A simple hump reduction can be treated with a closed rhinoplasty approach. The difference in healing between open versus closed rhinoplasty is not significant. The healing time in rhinoplasty has more to do with the extent of surgical changes that are done to your nose then the approach which is used to make those changes.

Answer: Closed Rhinoplasty Hello,The closed rhinoplasty is the best way to remove bone and cartilage in hundreds of micro-millimeter slivers to slowly and carefully sculpt the profile to the perfect balance. If you are a primary nose with no previous surgery, you should ONLY consider closed scarless rhinoplasty (preferred by actresses and celebrities) because there is no risk of external scarring and much less healing and recovery time. The goal is to finesse and enhance the nose without drastic change. Meaningful refinement is the key.All the best, Deepak Dugar, MDScarless Rhinoplasty ExpertBeverly Hills, CA 90210

Answer: Endonasal or external approach to the nose Experienced rhinoplasty surgeons don't use the terms 'open' or 'closed'--both approaches involve incisions (endonasal may in fact be more destructive in some cases). In my experience, the external approach does not take much longer (if at all) in terms of recovery in this type of situation, and offers the advantage of superior results.
