The most frequently asked question in rhinoplasty: open or closed technique? Op. Dr. Emine Şakalar explains the advantages and disadvantages of both methods.
Open Rhinoplasty vs Closed Rhinoplasty: What's the Difference?
One of the most frequently asked questions by patients planning rhinoplasty: "Open technique or closed technique?" There is no single correct answer — the appropriate technique is determined according to the patient's anatomy and the surgeon's goals.
Closed Rhinoplasty (Endonasal Technique)
In closed rhinoplasty, all incisions are made from inside the nose — no external marks remain.
Advantages:
Disadvantages:
Suitable for: Patients requiring minimal correction with relatively regular nasal structure.
Open Rhinoplasty (External Technique)
In the open technique, a very small incision is made at the base of the nose and the nasal skin is lifted to work directly on the internal structures.
Advantages:
Disadvantages:
Suitable for: Patients with significant deviation, cartilage insufficiency, secondary (revision) rhinoplasty, or extensive nasal tip reshaping.
