Closed Rhinoplasty - Abu Dhabi
Closed rhinoplasty, also known as endonasal rhinoplasty, is a surgical procedure performed to reshape or enhance the appearance of the nose. Unlike open rhinoplasty, which involves making an external incision across the columella (the strip of tissue between the nostrils), closed rhinoplasty is performed entirely through incisions made within the nostrils. This technique offers certain advantages, such as a shorter recovery time, reduced scarring, and less postoperative swelling compared to open rhinoplasty
During a closed rhinoplasty procedure, the surgeon accesses the nasal structures by making incisions inside the nostrils. This allows them to lift the skin and access the underlying bone and cartilage. The surgeon can then reshape or resize the nasal structures to achieve the desired aesthetic result. The incisions are typically closed with dissolvable sutures, and nasal packing or splints may be placed temporarily to provide support and aid in the healing process.
Closed rhinoplasty can address various cosmetic concerns, such as reducing a hump on the bridge of the nose, refining the nasal tip, narrowing the nostrils, or correcting nasal asymmetry. However, it may have limitations in complex cases that require extensive modifications to the nasal framework or for procedures that involve major functional corrections.
It is important to consult with a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon to determine whether closed rhinoplasty is suitable for your specific needs. They will assess your nasal anatomy, discuss your goals, and recommend the most appropriate surgical approach to achieve the desired outcome
