A Scarless Approach to Nasal Reshaping
Rhinoplasty, or nasal surgery, is a common and highly effective surgical procedure for cosmetic nose reshaping and correcting breathing issues. At Barr Aesthetics, we understand that patients often seek a discreet approach to surgery. Closed rhinoplasty is a powerful option that offers beautiful results with the added benefit of no visible external scarring.
This technique is excellent for patients seeking to achieve a variety of aesthetic goals, including:
- Refining the tip of the nose
- Altering the bridge of the nose
- Changing the overall size of the nose
- Narrowing the patient’s nostrils

What is Closed Rhinoplasty? The Surgical Method
Closed rhinoplasty is defined by its scarless approach. Unlike open nasal surgery, where incisions are made on the exterior of the nose, closed rhinoplasty is performed entirely through internal incisions made within the nostrils. These internal incisions allow the surgeon to alter the nasal cartilage and bone without leaving any visible signs of surgery on the exterior of the nose.
Key Benefits of Closed Nasal Surgery
For many patients, closed rhinoplasty is an ideal choice due to its distinct advantages.
- No External Scars: All incisions are hidden inside the nose, meaning there is no visible scarring after the procedure.
- Quicker Recovery Time: This less invasive approach often leads to reduced post-operative swelling and a shorter recovery period compared to open rhinoplasty.
- Ideal for Subtle Changes: Closed rhinoplasty is highly effective for patients who need less extensive reshaping and are focused on making subtle, yet impactful, cosmetic improvements.
Is Closed Rhinoplasty Right for Me?
The decision between open and closed rhinoplasty is highly dependent on your specific cosmetic goals. If you are looking for more conservative changes to the bridge, tip, or overall size of your nose, closed rhinoplasty may be the perfect solution for you. The most suitable procedure for you will always be determined by a specialist in the field of nasal surgery, who can assess your unique anatomy and desired outcomes.
