Closed Rhinoplasty

This type of surgery is mostly suitable for correcting minor imperfections such as a drooping tip, small humps, slight asymmetries, and adjusting the length of the nose. Since the stitches are placed inside the nose in closed rhinoplasty, they are not visible externally. Therefore, this method is known as one of the nasal surgeries with minimal stitches and complications.

Types of Nose surgery: the closed method includes preservation and plasma techniques; details of each method will be explained below.

Closed rhinoplasty is performed by making all incisions inside the nostrils, leaving no trace of incisions or stitches on the outer surface of the nose. Since the nose is not fully opened in this method, the surgeon has limited access to the internal structure.

In rhinoplasty, the work is done through narrow pathways inside the nose, and therefore the surgeon’s view is limited. Therefore, closed surgery is more suitable for correcting minor cosmetic changes or reducing the size of the nose. The skill and experience of the surgeon play a significant role in this type of surgery, as the limited workspace requires high precision.

This surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia and takes less time than other methods because the steps involve separating the skin from the bone and cartilage with special instruments and making the desired changes without fully opening the nose; therefore, we suggest that you research thoroughly and consult a top plastic surgeon before undergoing this procedure.

Closed rhinoplasty is suitable for individuals with minor cosmetic imperfections of the nose. In this type of surgery, the most important thing to consider is the condition of the nasal tip and bridge. If the nasal tip has a good shape and the nasal bridge is symmetrical, other minor imperfections can be easily corrected using the closed technique. In general, closed nasal surgery is suitable for the following groups:

• People who only need a small amount of cartilage grafting.
• Those who intend to have limited correction of their nasal septum.
• People who have decided to undergo nasal surgery at an older age, as this method is minimally invasive and has fewer complications.

In conclusion, it can be said that closed rhinoplasty due to its high precision, minimal incisions, and short recovery period, is a suitable option for those seeking natural and limited changes in their nasal appearance. The choice of this method should be made in consultation with and after careful examination by a specialist surgeon to achieve the best results.

This technique will also reduce swelling and scarring after surgery; however, to achieve the desired and natural result, you must take seriously the post-operative care, which includes the following: 

• In the first 24 hours after surgery, use cold compresses on the area under the eyes.
• For 72 hours after surgery, consume only soft and liquid foods and avoid eating hard foods.
• When sneezing or coughing, keep your mouth open to avoid putting pressure on your nose.
• Reduce salt intake to reduce swelling around the nose faster.
• When sleeping, raise your head by placing several pillows under your head.
• Avoid strenuous physical activity for several weeks after surgery.
• Learn the correct way to apply tape to your nose from your surgeon and follow it.
• Avoid taking hot showers for 72 hours after surgery.

In closed rhinoplasty, the surgeon does not have direct access to the underlying tissues; therefore, his control is less than in the open method. Therefore, choosing an experienced and skilled specialist is very important so that he can carefully and delicately make the necessary corrections to correct minor cosmetic imperfections of the nose. This surgery is not suitable for noses with significant imperfections; therefore, if your nasal problems or deviations are significant, you should consider septoplasty Septoplasty is a combination of cosmetic rhinoplasty and correction of nasal septum deviation that simultaneously improves appearance and corrects respiratory problems and nasal deviation. 

If the surgeon does not have sufficient skill in performing this surgery, there is a possibility of damage to the internal structure of the nose, such as cartilage or bone; also, some surgeons believe that the longevity of the results of closed surgery may be less, and with increasing age, there is a possibility of drooping of the nasal tip.
