Open or Closed Rhinoplasty: Which one is better?

Описание: Dr Samir Undavia get's this question asked quite a lot: "What's the difference between an open and closed rhinoplasty?"

First and foremost, a rhinoplasty is just changing the shape of the nose. Because each nose is unique, Dr Undavia approaches each patient on a case-by-case basis.

Think of it like snowflakes; no two are the same!

Back to the question. The placement of the incisions differentiates open versus closed rhinoplasty.

Open rhinoplasty features incisions both in and outside of the nose.

Closed rhinoplasty features incisions only inside the nose.

In my opinion, an open rhinoplasty is far superior because your surgeon will have access to certain structures during the procedure that just won't be accessible during a close rhinoplasty.

One positive comment about a closed rhinoplasty: These are better for small dorsal humps as well as small manipulations of the nose.

Don't forget everybody: Trust your face to a specialist. If you have more questions about getting a rhinoplasty, please visit Dr Undavia's website to learn a little bit more: http://drundavia.com/services/nose-su...
