Know the difference between Open and Closed Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty surgery in Bangalore is one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries. Also called Nose Job, this surgery is recommended by cosmetic surgeons for reshaping of the nose for aesthetic purposes or to correct functional difficulties.

According to Dr. Girish, Founder of Curls & Curves Cosmetic Surgery Centre and regarded as the best Rhinoplasty surgeon in Bangalore, there are two ways in which Nose Job can be performed. While the aim of both techniques is the same, they differ in surgical approach.

Let’s take a look at some of the key differences in both these approaches.

Open Rhinoplasty

Open Rhinoplasty is a precision surgical technique where your cosmetic surgeon makes a small incision on the strip of skin between the nostrils. This strip is called as Columella. When it comes to more delicate adjustments to be made within the nose, this process is favourable as it gives the surgeon a greater visibility and more access to the nasal framework.

Advantages of Open Rhinoplasty
  • More access to Nasal structures with an enhanced visibility.
  • Allows precise nasal modifications.
  • Profitable technique when it comes to executing complex nasal shape corrections.
  • Surgeon has a good control over the entire surgical process.
Closed Rhinoplasty

Compared to Open Rhinoplasty, Closed Rhinoplasty has no external cutting of the nose involved. Your surgeon works through the nostrils using specific instruments that facilitate the access to modify the nasal framework.

This technique is more favorable when simpler adjustments are to be made to your nose.

Advantages of Closed Rhinoplasty

No external nasal cutting involved.

  • No visible scarring.
  • Recovery is a tide faster.
  • Minimal nasal skin loss and comfortable recovery.
