Answer: Closed rhinoplasty recovery time vs open? Dear treacleThe early recovery between open and closed rhinoplasty is similar. Keep in mind that most basic primary rhinoplasties are routinely performed closed. Open rhinoplasties are often reserved for complex reconstructive cases involving valve reconstruction and dorsal extension grafts ... . Long term, tip swelling persists longer in open rhinoplasty. Generally, tip work and nostrils are handled well in closed rhinoplasty and some would argue (me included) that in primary rhinoplasty, closed surgery offers clear advantages over open surgery. The most important decision is to choose an experienced surgeon who can help you make the wise and safe choices.
