What are the closed rhinoplasty procedures?
The closed technique is an aesthetic operation on the nose where all the incisions are made inside the nose without leaving any scars or marks on the skin. Therefore, this technique is an invisible scar because it is atraumatic and leaves no scar tissue.
Benefits of Closed Rhinoplasty
With a closed rhinoplasty technique, surgery can achieve minimum bruises and swelling and, most importantly, no visible scarring. In addition, since the nasal skin is not lifted with this method, the surgeon can instantly see the results of all the manoeuvres he has done during the operation. The possibility of working in this way can also offer the surgeon the opportunity to achieve more natural results. Another advantage of the closed surgery method is the ability to create a much better natural transition between the tip of the nose and the back of the nose. This is because it protects the subcutaneous soft tissues.
