Rhinoplasty scarring is one of the most common concerns for patients considering nose surgery.

Where Is the Incision Made in Rhinoplasty Surgery?


Where Is the Incision Made in Open Technique Rhinoplasty?


Where Is the Incision Made in Closed Technique Rhinoplasty?


In closed rhinoplasty, there is no incision at the tip of the nose, so no visible scar forms. Sun exposure after closed rhinoplasty causes no harm, and the technique isn't limited to a particular season — surgery can be performed in summer or winter alike. With the closed technique, no rhinoplasty scarring occurs regardless of the season.

Does Rhinoplasty Scarring Appear at the Sutures?

In open rhinoplasty, a visible scar can result from improper technique. If the surgical incision isn't placed correctly — for example, too close to the cartilage or in an unsuitable spot — the nose's natural form can be disrupted. Improper closure of the incision can likewise distort the nose's natural shape. In such cases, the suture scar becomes noticeable, which is why choosing the right surgeon is so important. You can find more details on choosing a rhinoplasty surgeon in the link below.
