Question

I would like to have the tip of the nose done and remove a bump. Is there a nose surgery procedure which there are no visible scars and the incisions are mad inside the nose?

How long do you have the support on the nose after the procedure has been done?

Answer

Closed rhinoplasty is the term used for the surgery were the nose is reshaped using only internal access and therefore there are no external scars.

The support after the surgery is most frequently one week, and assists with stabilising the nasal bones once they have been repositioned.

With regards to the amount of change achievable for the nasal tip, the open and closed operations have some differences, and at the time of the consultation it is possible to determine whether a closed rhinoplasty is a suitable option for you.
