Closed Rhinoplasty

Closed rhinoplasty is a minimally invasive nose surgery technique where all incisions are made inside the nostrils, leaving no visible external scars. It is ideal for patients seeking nasal refinement with quicker recovery and less postoperative swelling.

At Medixir Clinic, closed rhinoplasty is performed by highly skilled surgeons who use precision techniques to address cosmetic and functional nasal issues. This approach allows for reshaping of the nasal tip, bridge, and nostrils while preserving natural nasal structure.

This technique is best suited for patients who require moderate adjustments to the nasal shape, such as smoothing a dorsal hump, refining the tip, or correcting asymmetry. Since there is no external incision, the healing process is typically faster and more comfortable.

The procedure is carried out under general anesthesia and usually takes between 1.5 to 2.5 hours. Because incisions are hidden inside the nose, the approach minimizes trauma to surrounding tissues and reduces visible signs of surgery.

During the surgery, the surgeon works through the nostrils to lift the soft tissues, make structural changes to cartilage or bone, and carefully sculpt the desired shape. Nasal function is preserved or improved, and aesthetics are enhanced simultaneously.

Patients generally experience less swelling and bruising with closed rhinoplasty compared to the open method. A nasal splint may be applied for support and is typically removed after 5 to 7 days.

Most patients return to work or normal activities within 7 to 10 days, with initial swelling subsiding in the first few weeks. Final results take shape over several months as the nose fully heals and refines.

Ideal candidates for closed rhinoplasty include individuals who desire subtle to moderate nasal enhancements, are in good overall health, and prefer a scar-free, less invasive approach.

At Medixir Clinic, we conduct thorough evaluations and use digital imaging to plan your procedure with utmost precision. Our team is committed to providing natural, balanced results tailored to each patient’s unique facial features.
