A “closed” rhinoplasty is when all the incisions are placed inside the nose. In an external rhinoplasty, the surgeon makes external incisions to access the nasal structures. Many surgeons prefer the closed method because it results in faster healing for the patient, and the incisions will be hidden. Dr. Langsdon’s rhinoplasty is performed using incisions placed inside the nose; however, he might make some incisions along the nostrils if they are too wide and need to be resized. These incisions are usually well-hidden by the natural creases of the nose.
