Rhinoplasty with a closed approach: Plastic surgery Royal✓

Closed rhinoplasty is one of the most popular nose surgery types, used to change the shape of the nose and improve the functionality of the airways. This procedure is minimally invasive compared to open rhinoplasty, as all incisions are made inside the nasal cavities, without external scars. It is ideal for patients who want to improve the appearance of their nose while maintaining a natural look and minimal scarring.

Benefits of Closed Rhinoplasty

Closed rhinoplasty offers several advantages, making it a highly sought-after choice for many patients:

• Minimal scarring: The main advantage of this technique is that all incisions are made inside the nose, meaning there are no visible external scars. This is especially important for patients who want to preserve a natural appearance of their nose and face.

• Faster recovery: Because the procedure is less invasive, recovery is generally quicker than with open rhinoplasty. Most patients can return to their normal activities within 7-10 days.

• Less postoperative pain: With less tissue and cartilage being cut, patients typically experience less pain and discomfort during recovery.

• More natural results: Closed rhinoplasty allows the surgeon to shape the nose precisely, with minimal incisions, contributing to a more natural and aesthetically pleasing outcome.

Who is Closed Rhinoplasty Suitable for?

Closed rhinoplasty is generally recommended for patients who wish to change the shape of their nose but do not require major structural corrections. Typical reasons for this surgery include:

• Correction of mild to moderate nasal deformities.

• Refining nasal tips or correcting profile imperfections.

• Aesthetic changes that do not require large adjustments or structural changes to the nose.

• Correction of inherited or minor post-injury nasal issues.

This type of surgery is not recommended for patients with significant nose damage (e.g., from trauma), as open rhinoplasty may be necessary in these cases to access larger parts of the nose.

How Does the Closed Rhinoplasty Procedure Work?

The closed rhinoplasty procedure typically lasts between 1 and 3 hours, depending on the complexity of the surgery.

• Preparation: Prior to the surgery, the patient will be placed under general anesthesia, meaning they will not feel any pain during the procedure. The surgeon will instruct you to refrain from eating or drinking several hours before the surgery.

• Incisions: The surgeon makes small incisions inside the nose, through which they access the nasal cartilage and bones. Since there are no external incisions, scarring is invisible.

• Shaping the Nose: During the procedure, the surgeon carefully shapes the nasal bone and cartilage according to the patient’s desires, ensuring a natural and harmonious symmetry.

• Closing the Incisions: After the necessary changes are made, the surgeon carefully closes the incisions. In some cases, small nasal tampons may be placed, which are usually removed a few days after the surgery.

Postoperative Period and Recovery

Recovery after closed rhinoplasty is typically faster compared to open rhinoplasty. Most patients can return to normal activities within 7 to 10 days. However, complete recovery and the final shape of the nose are usually visible only after a few months when the swelling fully subsides.

• Swelling and Bruising: Swelling and bruising are normal and usually last from 1 to 2 weeks. Most patients notice a significant reduction in swelling within the first few days.

• Follow-up Appointments: Follow-up visits with the surgeon will be needed a few times in the first month to monitor tissue regeneration and recovery.

• Results: The first results will be visible within a few months, but the final shape of the nose typically takes 6 to 12 months to fully settle.
