Closed Rhinoplasty for Subtle and Natural Nasal Refinement
Closed rhinoplasty is a refined surgical technique used to reshape the nose while keeping all incisions hidden inside the nostrils. This approach leaves no external scarring and often allows for reduced swelling, shorter operative time, and a smoother recovery. For patients who are seeking natural enhancement while preserving their facial identity, closed rhinoplasty offers a discreet and elegant solution.
A Technique Designed for Precision
In closed rhinoplasty, Dr. Yalon Dolev works entirely through small incisions placed inside the nostrils. This approach allows him to reshape the nasal cartilage, refine the tip, smooth the bridge, and adjust symmetry without visible incisions on the skin. The technique requires advanced surgical skill and is most effective for patients who require moderate refinement rather than extensive structural reconstruction.
Ideal Candidates
Closed rhinoplasty may be recommended for patients seeking to address:
- A small dorsal hump
- Minor tip refinement
- Subtle asymmetry
- Overall balance between the nose and facial features
During consultation, Dr. Dolev evaluates nasal anatomy, breathing function, and aesthetic goals to determine whether closed rhinoplasty is the most appropriate approach.
Maintaining Natural Facial Harmony
The goal of surgery is a result that looks unoperated and harmonious with the face. Dr. Dolev prioritizes preserving the individuality of each patient’s features while enhancing symmetry and proportion. Rhinoplasty should complement the face rather than draw attention to itself.
Recovery and Results
Closed rhinoplasty typically leads to less swelling compared to open rhinoplasty because fewer internal structures are elevated. Most patients return to daily activities within one to two weeks. Final refinements continue to develop as swelling gradually decreases.
Closed rhinoplasty is a thoughtful option for patients seeking subtle, natural improvements with minimal disruption. With expertise in facial anatomy and aesthetics, Dr. Dolev provides results that enhance confidence while preserving authentic identity.
