Closed or Endonasal Rhinoplasty:
A Minimally Invasive Approach to Nose Enhancement
Dr. Philipp Franck is a board-certified plastic surgeon, Columbia and Cornell trained, who has specialized in the art of Rhinoplasty surgery. He learned under world-renowned surgeon Dr. Ramtin Kassir and his expertise in the field of cosmetic nasal modification has earned him immense respect among peers and patients alike.
Rhinoplasty, or a nose job, is a cosmetic procedure that is becoming increasingly popular. The goal of rhinoplasty is to improve the appearance of the nose and to enhance the balance and symmetry of the face. While many people associate rhinoplasty with invasive surgery and long recovery times, there is another approach to the procedure known as closed or endonasal rhinoplasty. This approach is minimally invasive and provides gentle and effective results.
What is Closed Rhinoplasty?
Closed rhinoplasty, also known as endonasal rhinoplasty, is a specialized form of rhinoplasty that utilizes incisions inside the nostrils to access the underlying structures of the nose. This approach is minimally invasive, minimizing the risk of scarring and other potential complications. The goal of closed rhinoplasty is to enhance the appearance of the nose without leaving any noticeable scarring or altering the natural appearance of the face.
Closed or Endonasal Rhinoplasty is a form of cosmetic nasal reconstruction that utilizes incisions made inside the nose to make changes to its aesthetic shape. It’s often considered an easier procedure than open rhinoplasty, as it requires fewer incisions and generally less recovery time. However, there are tradeoffs; because of its limited access visualized from within the nose, some more complex surgical modifications may not be achieved.
At his practice, Dr. Franck is well versed in the nuances of both open and closed rhinoplasty techniques, allowing him to tailor treatment plans for each individual patient’s needs depending on their desired outcomes. For instance, he might recommend closed rhinoplasty for patients who want a less invasive procedure with faster recovery time, or conversely an open rhinoplasty approach if they require more extensive structural changes and are willing to commit to a longer healing period.
Why Choose Closed Rhinoplasty?
There are several reasons why someone might choose closed rhinoplasty over traditional rhinoplasty. Firstly, closed rhinoplasty is minimally invasive, minimizing the risk of scarring and other potential complications. Secondly, the incisions used in closed rhinoplasty are located inside the nostrils, making them nearly invisible and reducing the risk of noticeable scarring. Finally, closed rhinoplasty typically involves a shorter recovery time, allowing patients to get back to their normal activities more quickly.
The Benefits of Closed Rhinoplasty
Closed rhinoplasty offers several benefits, including:
Minimal scarring: The incisions used in closed rhinoplasty are located inside the nostrils, making them nearly invisible and reducing the risk of noticeable scarring.
Minimally invasive approach: Closed rhinoplasty is a minimally invasive procedure, minimizing the risk of complications and reducing the need for extensive recovery time.
Effective results: Despite its minimally invasive approach, closed rhinoplasty is still effective at enhancing the appearance of the nose, improving its balance and symmetry, and restoring its natural look.
Quick recovery time: Closed rhinoplasty typically involves a shorter recovery time, allowing patients to get back to their normal activities more quickly.
