Hello, I’m wanting to have a rhinoplasty procedure. I just want a smaller nose. I don’t like my bulbous droopy tip especially when i smile and the width of my nose at the top. I’m wondering which wold be the best approach for the results I would like o achieve or if they are achievable with a closed rhinoplasty approach as that would be my preference. Thank you

Answer: Endonasal Rhinoplasty A rhinoplasty performed without an external incision is called the “endonasal” technique. For many years this was the primary approach to rhinoplasty, although over the last few decades the pendulum has swung towards “open” rhinoplasty- which requires an incision in the skin between the nostrils. If the incision isn’t concerning to you, the change you’re hoping for can definitely be performed via the endonasal technique. When you visit with a rhinoplasty surgeon be sure to mention your preference. Your ideal result can be achieved through either technique.

Answer: Closed Scarless Nose Rhinoplasty Hello!Thank you for the photographs and question!The best option for you is to find a board certified facial plastic surgeon that dedicates his/her entire practice to scarlessnose rhinoplastys. In my practice If my patients have a breathing issue, I assess that as well and determine if they need to have a septoplasty at the same time in conjunction with a rhinoplasty. With a closed rhinoplasty you can achieve any look that you desire without the risk of a scar at the bottom of your nose. I recommend going to a Plastic Surgeon that specializes in closed scarless rhinoplasty (preferred by actresses and celebrities) because there is no risk of external scarring and much less healing and recovery time. Closed rhinoplasty enables you to have flash recovery with very minimal bruising if at all. You will only have to wear a cast for 5-7 days, no one will know you had anything done. All the incisions are made from inside the nose. The goal is to finesse and enhance the nose without drastic change. It still looks like it is your nose just more refined without looking fake. Meaningful refinement is the key! All the same surgical maneuvers your nose requires can be performed with a skilled closed scarless surgeon.
