Is it better to perform rhinoplasty with a closed technique?

Posted in Rhinoplasty on November 28th

Question:

For patients of ethnicity who are prone to keloid scarring, is it better to perform rhinoplasty with a closed technique? Is it possible for keloids to form inside of the nose then and would this have any negative impact after surgery?

Answer:

The risk of keloid scar following an open (aka external) rhinoplasty is very rare. During a closed (aka endonasal) rhinoplasty at Batniji Facial Plastic Surgery in Newport Beach, all incisions are placed inside the nose, thus further minimizing risk of keloid formation.
