Dr. Ran Rubinstein shares what patients should wait before and after closed rhinoplasty

The double board plastic face surgeon in Newburgh breaks the closed rhinoplasty process.

Newburgh, New York / Access to Newswire / 18 February 2025 / Rhinoplasty, commonly referred to as a nose work, is one of the most sought after cosmetic processes for people who want to improve the shape, size and function of their nose. Among the different available surgical techniques, closed rhinoplasty is a preferred approach to many patients due to minimum external scar and reduced recovery time. Plastic Surgeon of Face Certified by the Board of DirectorsDr. Ran Rubinstein It provides information on what patients should expect before and after a closed rhinoplasty.

What is closed rhinoplasty?

Closed rhinoplasty, also known as intravenous rhinoplasty, is a technique in which all surgical incisions are made in the nostrils, eliminating visible external scars. This approach is often recommended for patients who require minor to moderate adjustments to the nasal structure, including the reduction of the dorsal trolley, the improvement of limbs and small functional corrections. Unlike open rhinoplasty, which includes an outer incision along Columella (the strip of tissue between rutunins), the closed rhinoplasty offers a less invasive choice with a faster healing process.

Preparation for closed rhinoplasty

Patients examining closed rhinoplasty should undergo a thorough consultation with a plastic facial surgeon certified by the Board of Directors to discuss their goals and determine if they are a suitable candidate. During this initial evaluation, Dr. Rubinstein evaluates the nasal structure, facial balance, skin thickness and any underlying functional issues to be addressed. Patients with previous nasal surgeries or those who require extensive structural changes may be best suitable for an open rhinoplasty.

To optimize surgical results, patients will receive preoperative instructions, including:

• Medical Assessment: Patients may need blood tests and health assessment to confirm that they have been cleared for surgery.

• Drug Adjusts: Some medications and supplements that increase the risk of bleeding, such as aspirin, ibuprofen and vitamin E, should be avoided two weeks before surgery.

• Smoking pause: Smoking can prevent treatment and should stop at least two weeks before and after surgery.

• Alcohol and Hydration: Avoiding alcohol consumption in two weeks leading to surgery and well -hydrated stay can help recovery.

• Preparations of the Surgery Day: Patients should arrange a responsible adult to lead them home after the procedure and help during the initial rehabilitation period.

Closed rhinoplasty: The surgical procedure

Closed rhinoplasty is usually performed as a procedure of external patients under anesthesia. The following steps describe the surgical procedure:

• Anesthesia: Patients receive either general anesthesia or intravenous repression to ensure comfort during the procedure. The choice of anesthesia depends on the patient’s medical history and the extent of the surgery.

• Demonstrations: The surgeon makes small incisions in the nostrils, avoiding any visible external scars.

• Rebuilding the nose: Depending on the patient’s goals, bones or cartilage can be removed, reshaped or increased. The nasal bridge can be smoothed and the tip can be improved for improved contours and symmetry.

• Nasal Support Settings: In some cases, cartilage cuttings can be used to enhance the nasal structure, ensuring long -term stability.

• Closure of incisions: The incisions are meticulously closed with soluble stitches and internal nasal splints can be placed to support healing.

• Final sauce: A small outer splint is applied to help maintain the new nasal shape during the initial healing phase.

What to expect right after surgery

After the procedure, patients will experience some degree of swelling, bruising and mild discomfort. Since closed rhinoplasty is performed without external incisions, swelling is often less severe than open rhinoplasty. However, it is still a normal part of the healing process. The nose will be supported by a splint to maintain its shape and protect it during the early phase of recovery. The inner nasal packaging is not always necessary, but if used, it is usually removed within a few days.

Patients are advised to carefully follow post -operative instructions, including:

• Holding the head elevated to minimize swelling.

• Avoiding intense activities for at least two weeks.

• Avoiding blowing the nose or dealing with activities exerting pressure on the nasal structures.

• Applying cold compressions to reduce swelling around the eyes and cheeks.

The recovery timetable

The healing process after closed rhinoplasty varies from patient to patient, but in general, the initial recovery period follows this timetable:

• Week 1: The swelling and the bruising peak in the first few days, but they begin to recede. The nasal splint is usually removed at the end of the first week.

• Week 2: The most visible swelling and bruises are reduced, allowing patients to return to work and normal daily activities.

• Month 1-3: The residual swelling is gradually resolved and the nasal contours become more sophisticated.

• 6-12 months: Full results become apparent as the thin swelling is completely dissolved.

Expected results and long -term results

Patients undergoing closed rhinoplasty can expect natural effects that enhance facial harmony by maintaining or improving nasal function. Since all incisions are internal, there are no visible scars, making the attractive choice for those looking for subtle but aggressive improvements. The end result depends on factors such as nasal anatomy, skin thickness and adhesion to post-surgical care instructions.

While most of the visible healing occurs in the first months, the final shape of the nose can continue to improve up to one year. Patients are encouraged to monitor their surgeon to follow the progress of healing and to face any concerns that may arise during the recovery process.
