Closed Rhinoplasty means that all incisions and procedures are made inside the nostrils without opening the nose. One of the biggest advantages of "Closed Rhinoplasty" surgery is, there are no visible scarring. Also there will be slight swelling and less complications after the surgery. This technique is the oldest technique dating back to the beginning of the 1900s. 

Open Rhinoplasty is performed when an incision is made across the columella, the narrow strip of tissue that separates the nostrils. In this method all structures forming the nose anatomy are visible.

As the procedure is unique your surgeon will reshape the nose according to the need of each patient. 

After the incision the rhinoplasty surgery may start with breaking and removing bone and cartilage. If needed cartilage will be added to rebuild the tip. Once the bone and cartilage have been resculpted, your surgeon will pull the skin back down and stitch it along the open rhinoplasty incision, across the columella. 

After Rhinoplasty surgery, particularly during the first 24 hours, you can expect to feel your face a little bit puffy, your nose may ache, and you may have a dull headache. These are expectable side effects of the surgery and can be controlled with pain medication.
