FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The main difference between closed and open rhinoplasty lies in the approach to accessing the nasal structures. Closed rhinoplasty utilizes incisions hidden entirely within the nostrils, minimizing external scarring. Open rhinoplasty involves an additional incision across the columella (the small strip of tissue separating your nostrils) for a more open view of the nasal anatomy, allowing for more precise manipulation, particularly for complex cases.
The duration of closed rhinoplasty surgery can vary depending on the extent of the corrections needed. However, it typically takes one to two hours to complete.
During your initial consultation, you will have the opportunity to discuss your aesthetic goals and concerns in detail. We will examine your nose and medical history to determine if closed rhinoplasty is the right approach for you. They will also explain the surgical procedure, recovery process, and potential risks and benefits.
The cost of closed rhinoplasty can vary depending on several factors, including surgeon's fees, facility costs, anesthesia fees, and geographic location. Our team will provide you with a detailed cost estimate during your consultation.
While closed rhinoplasty primarily focuses on aesthetic improvements, it can sometimes address minor structural issues that may be impacting your breathing. If you have significant breathing difficulties due to a deviated septum or other nasal airway obstructions, an open rhinoplasty approach might be necessary for optimal correction.
As with any surgery, closed rhinoplasty carries certain risks, although these are generally uncommon. These can include infection, bleeding, anesthesia complications, and temporary breathing difficulties. We will discuss these risks in detail during your consultation and will take every measure to minimize them.
