What Are the Differences Between Non-Open and Open Rhinoplasty?

Hello,

This is VN Plastic Surgery.

For those of you considering rhinoplasty, there are some points you may have heard before or may be thinking about, and today we would like to talk about them.

Many people ask about the difference between non-open rhinoplasty and open rhinoplasty, and some may be wondering which one is the right choice.

So today, let’s take a proper look at what the differences between non-open and open rhinoplasty are.

To start with non-open rhinoplasty, this involves making an incision inside the nostril and performing the surgery from within the nose without lifting the skin.

It is a rhinoplasty method that can allow for quick recovery without worrying about external scars later.

This non-open rhinoplasty is one of VN’s features, and it is often chosen by people who want natural-looking lines. Before getting it done, there are a few points worth knowing.

✔️ Because the field of view is limited, subtle surgery may be difficult.

✔️ There may be limitations when correcting complex structures.

✔️ Since the surgical area is not extensive, swelling and recovery tend to be faster.

Now that we have covered non-open rhinoplasty, let’s look at open rhinoplasty.

This is a procedure in which the outside of the nose is incised, and the medical team performs the surgery while directly seeing the internal nasal structures,

making it a method that allows for detailed design and delicate correction.

At VN, when performing open rhinoplasty, it is often chosen by people who want delicate correction, and there are also a few points worth knowing.

✔️ Because an accurate view is secured, detailed correction is possible.

✔️ Structural approaches are possible to areas such as the nasal tip cartilage and septal cartilage.

✔️ The recovery period is relatively longer, and swelling and bruising may persist.

We have looked at both types of rhinoplasty, but it cannot be said that one surgical method is better or worse.

What matters is selecting the appropriate surgical method based on each person’s nasal condition and desired results.

At VN, through extensive clinical experience and analysis, we can provide a rhinoplasty solution tailored to you.

For your best choice, please remember that there are medical professionals at VN who are always there to help.
