If I were to have surgery, would I have an open rhinoplasty or a closed rhinoplasty?
Some minor aesthetic issues can be corrected with closed rhinoplasty surgery, but many more complex nose surgeries necessitate open rhinoplasty. The choice depends on the doctor – some surgeons favor the closed approach, as it results in less scarring, while others prefer the access of the open nose surgery technique. Dr. Robinson is experienced in both methods and prefers to make this decision on a patient-by-patient basis. A customized approach is best because it allows Dr. Robinson to formulate an individualized surgical plan based on the particular patient’s needs. To learn whether the open or closed approach will best suit your surgical goals, schedule a consultation with Dr. Robinson.
