What is Closed Rhinoplasty?

Closed rhinoplasty is one of the most common and preferred methods of rhinoplasty. This method is applied to correct deformities on the nose, to eliminate functional problems and to achieve a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. Closed rhinoplasty offers some advantages over open rhinoplasty and is therefore often preferred by both surgeons and patients.

Definition of Closed Rhinoplasty

Closed rhinoplasty is a type of rhinoplasty surgery in which surgical incisions are made through the nostrils. In this way, the nose can be shaped without leaving any outwardly visible scars. Closed rhinoplasty covers all interventions performed to correct the nose aesthetically and functionally.

Advantages of Closed Rhinoplasty

Closed rhinoplasty has many advantages:

  1. No Visible Scars: One of the biggest advantages of closed rhinoplasty is that it leaves no visible scar on the outer surface of the nose. Since the incisions are made inside the nostrils, they are not noticeable from the outside.
  2. Shorter Recovery Time: The recovery time after closed rhinoplasty is usually shorter and less uncomfortable than open rhinoplasty. This allows patients to return to their daily lives more quickly.
  3. Less Swelling and Bruising: Since closed rhinoplasty causes less trauma to the tissues, there is less swelling and bruising after surgery. This helps patients recover more quickly.
  4. Natural Appearance Closed rhinoplasty allows for aesthetic results by preserving the structure of the nose in a more natural way. By entering through the nostrils, the surgeon can precisely shape the structure of the nose.

How is Closed Rhinoplasty Performed?

Closed rhinoplasty surgery is performed under general anesthesia. The surgeon reaches the nasal bone and cartilage structure by making small incisions through the nostrils. Various techniques are used to shape, correct or, if necessary, add to these structures. During the surgery, the intranasal incisions are carefully closed and no external scar is left. The duration of surgery usually varies between 1-2 hours and may vary depending on the patient’s nasal structure, the surgeon’s experience and the corrections to be made. After surgery, patients can be discharged on the same day or may need to stay in hospital overnight.

The Recovery Process and Things to Consider

The healing process after closed rhinoplasty may vary from person to person. Generally, there may be mild pain, swelling and bruising in the first few days after surgery. During this period, painkillers and cold compresses recommended by the doctor help to relax. Here are some important points to consider during the healing process:

  • Care should be taken not to hit the nose.
  • Excessive physical activity should be avoided.
  • Sleep with the head elevated.
  • Postoperative medical check-ups should be performed regularly.

Closed rhinoplasty is a popular and effective method among rhinoplasty surgeries. It is often preferred thanks to its advantages such as leaving no visible scars, shorter healing time and natural results. However, as with any surgical procedure, it is important that closed rhinoplasty is performed by a specialized surgeon. In this way, the best results can be achieved both aesthetically and functionally.
