Visible scarring depends on the technique Dr. McCue uses to perform your rhinoplasty. With closed rhinoplasty, incisions are placed inside the nostrils, which easily conceals the scarring. With open rhinoplasty, you can expect a slight scar on the underside of your nose. The good news is not only will this scar fade significantly over time, but it is also difficult for other people to notice given its position under the nose.
