Septorhinoplasty: Open or Closed?

January 21, 2014
Asked By:ROCPhilly in Philadelphia, PA

I recently turned 20 and want to get septorhinoplasty done. I badly slammed my nose when I was young, resulting in an irritable dorsal hump and deviated septum. I've researched that closed rhinoplasty might apply to me, considering my hump is not deemed big and I do not want my tip touched at all (unless advised against). However, I am unsure whether the septoplasty aspect would still make it closed procedure. Any additional comments appreciated- I'd like to note that my nose looks bigger when smiling.
