What Is Closed Rhinoplasty?

Closed rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at modifying the appearance of the nose through internal incisions. Also known as endonasal rhinoplasty, this technique ensures minimal visible scarring on the exterior of the nose. Unlike open rhinoplasty, which involves external incisions, closed rhinoplasty primarily focuses on reshaping the nasal tip, shortening the nose, or addressing dorsal humps. It is typically recommended for individuals with a symmetrical nose requiring targeted refinement.

During the procedure, the surgeon accesses the nasal structures through small openings within the nostrils, maintaining limited visibility. This precise approach, performed under general anesthesia, results in a relatively quick procedure with reduced swelling and a shorter recovery period, allowing patients to achieve their desired nasal aesthetics.

How Is Closed Rhinoplasty Performed?

Closed Rhinoplasty in Turkey

Closed rhinoplasty is performed through meticulously crafted internal incisions, ensuring minimal visible scarring. Under general anesthesia, the surgeon gains access to the nasal structures exclusively through the nostrils. The nasal skin is delicately separated from the underlying cartilage and bone, granting the surgeon limited visibility. Skillfully reshaping the nasal framework, the surgeon may remove excess cartilage or bone, refine the tip, or address dorsal humps.

Sutures are meticulously placed to close the incisions, and a cast or splint is applied to support the nose during the initial healing phase. This procedure typically takes around 1 to 2 hours, offering efficient and precise nasal contouring with minimal downtime and optimal results.

Recovery Process After Closed Rhinoplasty

The recovery process following closed rhinoplasty involves a carefully monitored and supportive approach to ensure optimal healing and long-lasting results. Immediately after the procedure, a cast or splint is placed to provide stability and support to the nose during the initial healing phase, which typically lasts for approximately 5 to 7 days. Swelling and bruising around the nose and eyes are expected, but gradually diminish over time. It is advisable to take a few days off from work and maintain a head elevated position while resting to minimize swelling.

Strenuous activities, excessive chewing, swimming, alcohol consumption, and blowing the nose should be avoided during the early stages of recovery. Around one week post-surgery, the cast or splint is removed, unveiling the transformed nose. Although some residual swelling may persist, patients can gradually resume normal activities while adhering to the surgeon’s instructions. Patience and adherence to post-operative care guidelines are essential for a successful recovery following closed rhinoplasty.

What Affect the Cost of Closed Rhinoplasty?

Costs for a closed rhinoplasty include surgeon qualifications, location, surgical difficulty, anesthesia type, and facility fees. What comes into play is the qualifications of a surgeon. A recognized, experienced and expert in rhinoplasty surgery may charge more because of the experience and proven reputation. The cost also varies on the geographical location; for example, most of the time, surgeries done in areas where the cost of living is high will have a higher quotation.

Operations that need more alterations in the structure bear a higher cost than those that require simple or uncomplicated changes. In addition, it is the type of anesthesia which brings out the difference in price. This is where general anesthesia tends to add to the overall cost when juxtaposed against local anesthesia.

Frequently Asked Questions

The recovery process after closed nose surgery varies from person to person. Typically, swelling around the nose and eyes reaches its maximum level within 2-3 days after surgery. This swelling then begins to decrease, and most of it subsides within 5 to 7 days. Complete recovery depends on the skin type: it can take between 6 months and 1 year for individuals with thin skin, and 1 to 2 years for those with thick skin.

Choosing between open and closed nose surgery depends on the patient’s condition and the doctor’s preference. The open method may be advantageous because it provides a more detailed view of the nasal anatomy. This method can be more suitable for patients with severe issues in the nasal tip or cartilage. On the other hand, the closed method is preferred for more limited interventions and leaves less visible scarring. Ultimately, each method has its own unique advantages and disadvantages. The patient’s needs and the surgeon’s expertise determine which method will be used.

The risk of the nasal tip dropping during closed nose surgery depends on the surgeon’s experience and the techniques used. Cutting the connection between the septum and the nasal tip cartilage can increase this risk. If structural precautions to support the nasal tip are not taken during surgery, a drop may occur. This is particularly common in naturally long noses. The dropping of the nasal tip post-surgery can result from the natural nasal structure or the removal of excess tissue. Therefore, the surgeon’s experience and surgical technique are crucial in this matter. Careful and measured intervention can prevent the nasal tip from dropping.

General anesthesia is usually preferred for closed nose aesthetic surgeries. During this process, medications that induce complete sleep are administered intravenously. This ensures that patients do not feel pain or discomfort during the operation. Additionally, recovery and awakening periods in procedures performed under general anesthesia occur quickly. Thus, patients experience a comfortable post-operative period, increasing the operation’s success.

Mild pain is expected on the first day after closed nose surgery. Undoubtedly, the doctor prescribes medications to alleviate the pain. Patients can effectively control their pain with these medications. Additionally, cold compress (ice) application is recommended. This method plays an important role in reducing both swelling and pain. Therefore, following these recommendations in the post-operative period can result in successful pain management. In summary, mild pain after surgery is normal and can be alleviated by various methods.

The first weeks after closed nose surgery are delicate. During this period, the nasal bones and tissues heal. Patients often wonder if wearing glasses will harm this healing process. However, doctors usually advise against wearing glasses for 3 months during this period. Instead, they suggest alternative solutions as wearing glasses might negatively affect the healing process. Alternatives such as special eyeglass frames or contact lenses may be more suitable during this time. These recommendations are designed to accelerate the patient’s recovery process and minimize negative effects.

Like all surgical interventions, closed nose aesthetics carries some risks. Although these risks are minimized in procedures performed by experienced surgeons, issues such as bleeding and infection can occur. Additionally, numbness in the nasal tip or allergic reactions may rarely occur. Complications related to anesthesia and results not meeting expectations are also potential risks. Therefore, all these risks should be carefully evaluated before the operation.
