About Closed Rhinoplasty
What is closed rhinoplasty?
Closed rhinoplasty is a minimally invasive surgical technique that improves overall nasal symmetry and aesthetics via small incisions made inside the nose. Open surgery involves making an incision on the columella at the base of the nose, and a closed surgery involves internal incisions that remain hidden from plain view. However, a closed rhinoplasty can only facilitate minor alterations and shape modifications. Dr. Lisiecki will carefully examine your nose and discuss your goals to determine if you’re a candidate for closed rhinoplasty in NYC.
Closed rhinoplasty can
correct the following:
- Enlarged nose structure
- Wide nasal bones
- Bulbous nasal tip

The benefits of closed rhinoplasty:

Dr. Lisiecki’s personalized closed rhinoplasty technique
Dr. Lisiecki performs a highly personalized closed rhinoplasty in NYC after a thorough consultation. The surgery is performed in his state-of-the-art surgical center under local anesthesia or general anesthesia. The surgeon makes extremely small incisions inside the nostrils, through which he makes small adjustments and modifications to the soft tissues and cartilage. The specific techniques used depend on your unique goals and expectations. The procedure should conclude within 1 to 2 hours.
Recovery after a closed rhinoplasty surgery
The surgeon will place a nasal splint or cast on your nose to promote optimal healing and recovery. You will experience considerable swelling, bruising, tenderness, and nasal congestion for a few days, but the lingering symptoms may last for several weeks. You can resume work and normal activities after a week, but you should avoid strenuous activities for around 4 weeks after the procedure. The final results may be evident after a year.
