Rhinoplasty

Closed rhinoplasty

The closed technique inserts the implant through an intranasal incision, so there is no external columellar scar and less swelling — suited to dorsal augmentation without major framework work.

Who it suits

  • Mainly wants dorsal augmentation
  • Limited recovery time
  • Concerned about an external scar

Technique highlights

  • No external scar at the columella
  • Less swelling than the open approach
  • Shorter operating time

Surgical steps

  • Determine whether the issue is the dorsum or the tip
  • Implant inserted through an intranasal incision
  • Position adjusted and dorsal line checked

Recovery & aftercare

  • Nasal splint for about 5-7 days
  • Sutures and splint removed before flying home
  • Recommended stay in Korea of 7-10 days
  • The final shape settles at 3-6 months

Risks & things to consider

  • Results depend on the individual's anatomy, skin condition and after-care
  • Always disclose medical conditions, medication and allergies before treatment
  • Every procedure carries risks and possible complications; consult a specialist before deciding

Frequently asked questions

Is everyone a candidate?

Not everyone; if the tip or framework needs significant work, the open approach gives better precision.

Is the result very different from the open method?

For dorsal augmentation alone the results are similar; the open method controls tip detail better.
