What is the difference between an open and closed rhinoplasty?

There are two approaches to nose surgery: open and closed. The main difference between the two methods is the type of incision the surgeon makes in the nose.
A closed rhinoplasty leaves no external scars, reduces the likelihood of nasal irritation and is a much shorter, less invasive, form of surgery. As a result, a closed rhinoplasty has a faster recovery time than an open rhinoplasty. However, an open rhinoplasty is required for patients who require more extensive work to reshape or resize their nose.  In short, neither operation is ‘better’ - it depends on an individual’s requirements and the desired outcome of the surgery.
An open rhinoplasty is an invasive nose operation which is widely used for patients who need more extensive nose contouring or nose reduction. The surgeon will make incisions in the columella, which is the skin between a person’s nostrils, underneath the nose. Following the incisions, the skin is lifted up allowing access inside the nasal cavity to allow the surgeon to perform reshaping. After the surgery is complete, the columella is sutured and the nose will be secured in place with tape and a splint. The splint will keep the nose in place during the healing process and normally will be removed after one week. Open rhinoplasty is excellent for patients with issues such as genetic or structural deformities, trauma to the nose requiring grafting and unsatisfactory results from a previous nose job.
All in all, choosing the surgical technique depends on the needs of the patient and the preference of the surgeon. For example, in cases that the nose needs less change and the patient wants a more natural result, the surgeon usually does the surgery with the closed method, while in cases with more than one structural problem, the open approach is preferred.

Why does bruising after rhinoplasty occur?

Not every patient will endure bruising after a nose job. If bruising occurs, it generally happens under the eyes. Bruising occurs when blood vessels along the eye area get trapped underneath the skin, causing a purple or blue color to appear. After rhinoplasty, it is not uncommon for blood vessels around the nasal structure to be disrupted along the eye's orbital rim, thus creating the appearance of a black eye. Any post-operative bruising should begin to dissipate in 7 – 10 days. Patients can apply a bag of frozen peas or ice packs to the cheek or eye area for at least 2 – 3 days after surgery, as cold compresses will reduce swelling and help any bruising heal more quickly. After rhinoplasty, keeping the head elevated will also alleviate these common post-operative symptoms.
