Open nosejob Vs Closed Nose Job

The difference between open and closed nosejob is one small incision that makes a huge difference for the facial Plastic surgeon.

In an “open nose job” an incision across the columella makes it possible for Dr Simoni to lift the skin off the tip of the nose and shape the cartilage very precisely by having your nose basically “open”. Most top nose job surgeons feel this is the best option because there is an advantage in that the skeleton (cartilage and bone) is exposed and directly visible to them.

Open nose job has become the more popular and preferred version by nosejob surgeons in recent times due to the benefits it offers. Yet patients are often deterred from this technique due to that when healed, the incision leaves a very small almost unnoticeable scar on the underside of the nose. Although when the procedure is done properly, this will in fact offer no aesthetic issue.

With a “closed nosejob” not as much freedom is offered as the incision is inside the nostril. The modifications during the procedure are under the skin therefore giving the plastic surgeon less access and visibility. Patients lean toward this technique since the small scar will not exist. However, the advantages in the open nose job in terms of your results should outweigh the risk of miniscule scarring.

Dr Payman Simoni skilled in both techniques, however Dr Simoni will most likely have a preference of open nosejob when nasal tip modification is needed.
