What’s the Difference Between Open and Closed Rhinoplasty?

Open Rhinoplasty

Open rhinoplasty involves a small incision across the columella — the tissue between the nostrils — allowing the surgeon full access to the nasal structure. This technique is ideal for complex cases, major reshaping, or revision surgeries.

Advantages:

Better visibility for the surgeon

Ideal for major structural changes

Useful in revision rhinoplasty (corrections of past surgeries)

 

Considerations:

May leave a very fine scar (usually fades over time)

Slightly longer recovery

Closed Rhinoplasty

Closed rhinoplasty is performed with all incisions inside the nostrils, leaving no visible scars. It’s best suited for patients needing minor to moderate adjustments.

Advantages:

No external scars

Shorter surgery time and quicker recovery

Less swelling post-op

Considerations:

Limited access to nasal structures

Not suitable for more complex reconstructions

Which Rhinoplasty Technique Is Right for You?

At MicroCare ENT Super Speciality Hospital, Hyderabad, our expert ENT and facial plastic surgeons assess each patient’s nasal structure, medical history, and cosmetic goals before recommending the best technique.

You might be a candidate for:

Open Rhinoplasty, if you need major reshaping, have a crooked nose, trauma-related damage, or have had previous surgeries.

Closed Rhinoplasty, if you want subtle aesthetic improvements like tip refinement or dorsal hump reduction.
