Open vs Closed

Same nose surgery —
Different incision approach

Open and closed rhinoplasty differ in incision method, scarring, recovery time,
and several other aspects.

Closed rhinoplasty is a high-level procedure requiring precise technique.
Suitability is determined after an in-person consultation based on your individual nasal structure.

Core Principles

Reducing the incision
is only part of the story

Closed rhinoplasty is not simply about minimizing incisions.
It demands a deep understanding and meticulous technique
to precisely design the nasal tip and bridge structure within a limited field of view.

POINT 01

Natural Results Without Scar Concerns

No External Incision

With no external incision, scarring is virtually invisible — ideal even for those with keloid-prone or scar-sensitive skin.

POINT 02

Relatively Faster Recovery

Minimal Tissue Trauma

With comparatively less tissue disruption, the recovery burden is reduced and you can expect a quicker return to daily life.

POINT 03

Precise High-Level Technique

Precise Design Within a Limited View

Precisely sculpting the nasal structure within a limited visual field demands a high level of surgical skill and experience.

Applicable Cases

Cases Treatable With
Closed Rhinoplasty

A wide range of nasal concerns can be addressed through the internal approach alone —
from nasal tip and bridge refinement to hump correction, deviated nose, and implant revision.

Image area Closed Rhinoplasty case 1
CASE 01

Nasal Tip Support Structure Improvement Needed

A nasal tip support structure is formed internally, with the height difference between the bridge and tip refined to naturally improve the overall nasal line.

Image area Closed Rhinoplasty case 2
CASE 02

Low or Blunt Nasal Tip Requiring Shape Improvement

Through an internal incision, the tip structure is precisely refined into a natural, well-balanced shape.

Image area Closed Rhinoplasty case 3
CASE 03

Uneven Nose Bridge Needing Smoothing

The bridge is smoothed via an internal approach, completing a soft, flowing line that connects naturally to the tip.

Image area Closed Rhinoplasty case 4
CASE 04

Hump Nose or Deviated Nose Requiring Correction

The protruding dorsal bone is shaved down internally, while the deviated septum and tip cartilage are corrected together to straighten the nasal line.

Image area Closed Rhinoplasty case 5
CASE 05

Natural Revision Needed After Implant Removal

The existing implant is safely removed, and autologous dermis or cartilage is used to fill in any deficiencies, creating a stable, natural-feeling nasal line.

Design Process

Pleasure Closed Rhinoplasty
6-Step Design Process

From 3D-CT precision analysis to a naturally refined result —
each procedure is tailored to the individual.

STEP 01

3D-CT Precision Imaging

Structural Analysis

Septal size, curvature, and autologous tissue condition are assessed to formulate the safest surgical plan.

STEP 02

Facial-Harmonized Nose Design

Custom Design

The nasolabial angle and facial proportions are considered to design a customized nasal line in harmony with the face.

STEP 03

Customized Autologous Tissue

Selection & Planning

The most suitable autologous material — septal or ear cartilage — is selected based on current nasal condition.

STEP 04

Closed Approach

Precise Structural Design

Using only an internal incision, the nasal structure is precisely designed and firmly secured to create a stable, lasting nasal line.

STEP 05

Functional Rhinoplasty Combined

Simultaneous Internal Improvement

Functional issues such as rhinitis and deviated septum are addressed simultaneously, achieving both aesthetic and functional results.

STEP 06

Natural Completion Without Scars

Harmonious Result

Completed with natural, inconspicuous results and no external scarring, maintaining harmony with your existing features.

FAQ

Before Closed Rhinoplasty —
Frequently Asked Questions

Q How much correction is possible with closed rhinoplasty?
Nasal tip support improvement, tip shape correction, bridge refinement, hump and deviated nose correction, and post-implant revision are all possible. However, complex structural corrections may be better suited to the open approach — we recommend an in-person consultation to confirm the best option for you.
Q Is there truly no scar with the closed approach?
Because there is no external incision, no scar forms on the columella. Since incisions are made only inside the nostrils, external scarring is virtually invisible. Individual skin condition may cause some variation.
Q Is recovery faster compared to open rhinoplasty?
The closed approach involves comparatively less tissue disruption, making recovery faster than open surgery. While individual results vary, most patients return to daily activities after 5–7 days.
Q Can I have rhinoplasty if I have keloid-prone skin?
Closed rhinoplasty, with no external incision, is well-suited for those with keloid-prone or scar-sensitive skin. An in-person consultation will assess your skin and nasal structure to determine the optimal surgical approach.
