Do you perform rhinoplastic procedures through an open or external approach

We are trained in both endonasal as well as external rhinoplasic approach. Keep in mind that the deformity is what dictates whether the procedure needs to be open or closed. We will assure you that if it is performed externally the scar is very small, it’s placed at the base of the columella, it roughly is only about 2 to 3 millimeters in length, and it heals extremely well. Keep in mind this will be discussed with the patient prior to the surgery if the patient has any concerns about this.
