Closed Rhinoplasty: Procedure, Cost, and Recovery

Information about the closed rhinoplasty procedure including cost, recovery, and before & after photos.

What Is Closed Rhinoplasty?

This young woman discusses her closed rhinoplasty procedure with New York facial plastic surgeon Dr. Andrew Jacono.

During a closed rhinoplasty or endonasal rhinoplasty, all incisions are hidden within the nostrils. Through these internal cuts, bone and cartilage are tactfully rearranged or removed. This procedure can shorten the nose’s length, shave down dorsal humps, and refine the nasal tip.

Closed rhinoplasty is a strong choice for patients with smaller, more symmetrical noses. One of the best aspects of this procedure is that, because all incisions are made within the nose, there is no visible scarring, and surgery and healing times are quicker.

Is Closed Rhinoplasty Surgery Better Than Open Rhinoplasty?

Just like any type of procedure, there are benefits and drawbacks. Closed rhinoplasties require the surgeon to be highly skilled in working in limited visibility and small spaces.  Expert surgeons such as Dr. Jacono can perform both types of rhinoplasty procedures based on patient needs and should be discussed as an option during your consultation. 

Benefits include:

  • Not as much swelling after surgery
  • Shorter recovery time
  • Leaves behind no scars
  • Patients can return to normal activities sooner

Drawbacks include:

  • Better suited for smaller noses
  • Cannot fix major structural issues
  • Post-operative results can be more limited

How Long Do Closed Rhinoplasty Results Last?

Because it does not lift nasal skin off the underlying bone and cartilage, it does not take very long to perform. The average surgery time takes between 1 and 2 hours.

The results should last a lifetime.

Will My Nose Need to be Broken?

Although some facial plastic surgeons break the nose during rhinoplasty, Dr. Jacono never does. Instead, he reshapes and repositions the nose to avoid causing excessive trauma.

Where Are Stitches Placed?

Because the procedure is performed through internal incisions, sutures are placed exclusively within the nostrils. These stitches are absorbable and will dissolve over time, so they do not need to be manually removed after surgery.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Anyone who is unhappy with their nose’s appearance is a candidate, though the ideal patient is one whose nasal complications are not extremely dramatic. Those whose noses have experienced serious trauma or structural issues, for example, may not benefit from a closed rhinoplasty.

It is important for patients to be in good physical health, and to refrain from consuming alcohol or tobacco before and after their procedure.

What Is the Cost of a Closed Rhinoplasty?

As with any surgery, the price varies from patient to patient and from surgeon to surgeon. Generally speaking, rhinoplasty cost between $7,000 and $25,000 and depends on the surgeon’s level of expertise, the complexity of the surgery, and a number of other factors.

Candidates should discuss the price of surgery with Dr. Jacono, as well as what payment or financing options are available.

Why Choose Dr. Jacono for Your Nose Job?

Dr. Jacono is a dual-board-certified facial plastic surgeon with over twenty years of experience in the field. A rhinoplasty, or nose job, changes the nose’s structure and aesthetic balance. He has extensive training and delivers the most naturally impressive results possible. This is why he has been chosen as the best-closed rhinoplasty surgeon in New York.

To see if you are a candidate for surgery with Dr. Jacono, New York’s best rhinoplasty surgeon, please contact our offices in New York City or on Long Island.

Mission Statement

Doctor Jacono’s desire to become a facial plastic surgeon was solidified in grade school. There was a girl on his school bus route who was born with a cleft lip and palate deformity. Unfortunately, whenever she spoke, air and words escaped through her nose. Kids teased her and were cruel, and nobody would sit next to her on the bus, so he decided to sit with her. One day, the girl had plastic surgery and returned to school with her face repaired. Suddenly, classmates saw her face instead of her deformity and immediately treated her normally. It was at that moment that Doctor Jacono knew he wanted to fix people’s faces and change their lives. This is why he has gone on over twenty plastic surgery missions to poor countries around the world and provided free cleft lip and surgery for birth defects to over 500 children.

Because of this experience in his childhood, Doctor Jacono understands that one of our basic needs as human beings is to feel confident about our appearance. It’s is Doctor Jacono’s passion to help his patients achieve their facial aesthetic goals, creating natural appearing results to either enhance their beauty and proportion or rejuvenate their aging appearance. He is a world-renowned leader in the field of facial plastic surgery and only performs surgery on the face, not the body. He has innovated many facelift, eyelid lift, and rhinoplasty surgical techniques, publishing in leading peer reviewed literature and lecturing at plastic surgery conferences all over the world. He is committed to sharing what he has learned teaching surgeons from around the world.

His approach is to maintain your uniqueness and facial identity; it is still you just better. To do this he uses a customized, bespoke approach to each patient employing the most minimally invasive, innovative, and cutting-edge technology. Doctor Jacono has never performed the same procedure on any two of the thousands of patients he has treated. He is committed to providing his surgical expertise in a caring, supportive environment with a professional staff that has you as their focus and concern.
