What is the difference between open and closed rhinoplasty?

It Is important to know the differences in open or closed rhinoplasty. In rhinoplasty, bone and cartilage will be changed or both together, and there are only two ways to access this nasal structure: During closed rhinoplasty, two incisions are made inside the nose. It is through these cracks that all changes will be made.

Open rhinoplasty involves the same two incisions, but with one additional incision connecting the two, across the nasal septum. This final connecting incision, called a transpatellar incision, allows the surgeon to unveil the nose. Depending on what the surgeon Is trying to do, each method has Its own advantages and disadvantages.

Open rhinoplasty is performed by making a small Incision in the underside of the nose between the nostrils somewhat in a Z-shape. In closed rhinoplasty, the only incisions are made Inside the nose, through the nostrils and the skin on the outside of the nose is unaffected. Although both methods share many of the same incisions, many of the same principles apply regardless of the method chosen.

What are the cases in which closed rhinoplasty is performed?

Open rhinoplasty is performed for patients who have the following conditions:

Distortion in the external appearance of the nose.
Dissatisfaction with the shape of the external nose.
Anatomical improvement of nasal airway obstruction.

How is closed rhinoplasty performed?

On the day of the procedure, the surgeon will administer general anesthesia to the patient.

Then, the surgeon makes incisions inside the patient’s nose. So that the skin Is separated from the cartilage, then the reshaping process begins by adding cartilage or adding bone, and adding bone requires a bone graft at the end. When the formation Is completed, the surgeon closes the incisions with stitches and a splint is placed on the nose, and it usually takes a closed rhinoplasty 1 to 2 hours.

The recovery period from the operation

After the procedure, the patient wears a splint for about 5 to 7 days. This will help support the nose during recovery and preferably have someone drive the patient home, as they will not be able to drive under anesthesia.

Take a few days off work and try to sleep with your head elevated, which may help reduce swelling.

After a week or so, the splint Is removed to reveal the new shape of the nose. It is expected that there will be some bruising and swelling around the nose and eyes, and it is preferable that you should start returning to normal activities during this period.

Expected results after the operation:

After a year, gradual changes occur in the shape of the nose during which to reach the final result, and here the healing process is complete, In addition to the swelling of the nose completely gone, then the patient can enjoy watching the final result of rhinoplasty, and the shape and symmetry of the nose is very important in this period in the event that the patient is not satisfied with the shape of the nose after the final result, it is better to talk to his doctor about it, and the results are permanent unless the patient breaks or damages his nose.
