Correction of the Nose Is there a difference between a Closed Nose Correction and Open Nose Correction?
Both operations are aimed at improving the shape of the nose through the modification of the nose structure. Only the incisions in the two types of surgeries differ. External or Open Rhinoplasty is performed through a small incision in the columella. The incision is usually so fine that it practically disappears after an appropriate healing time. With the Internal or Closed Rhinoplasty, the surgeon modifies the nose cartilage through small cuts inside the nose. Although the closed method is slightly more complicated, an experienced surgeon (such as ours) is very unlikely to leave any visible scars.
