What is Scarless Rhinoplasty?

Scarless rhinoplasty, also known as closed rhinoplasty, is a less invasive alternative to traditional open rhinoplasty. Unlike open rhinoplasty, which requires an incision on the columella, scarless rhinoplasty involves making incisions inside the nostrils. This allows for reshaping of the nasal structure while keeping all surgical points hidden. Scarless rhinoplasty can correct concerns such as nasal asymmetry, a dorsal hump, a drooping or bulbous tip, and minor breathing obstructions.

Candidates for Scarless Rhinoplasty

Ideal candidates for scarless rhinoplasty are individuals looking for subtle yet effective refinements to their nasal appearance or function. This procedure is best suited for patients with mild to moderate concerns, such as slight nasal humps, asymmetry, or tip refinement. Those requiring extensive nasal reconstruction or revision rhinoplasty may be better suited for an open rhinoplasty approach. Candidates should be in good overall health, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations about the procedure’s outcomes. A consultation with Dr. Daraei will determine whether scarless rhinoplasty is the right option for you.

Scarless Rhinoplasty Procedure

Scarless rhinoplasty is performed under general anesthesia to ensure patient comfort. During the procedure, Dr. Daraei makes small incisions inside the nostrils to access and modify the underlying bone and cartilage. Specialized instruments are used to reshape the nasal structure, refine the tip, and address any asymmetry. Cartilage grafts may be utilized to improve support or enhance nasal contours if needed. Once the adjustments are complete, the incisions are closed, and nasal splints may be placed to support healing. The procedure typically takes one to two hours, depending on the case’s complexity.

Scarless Rhinoplasty Recovery

Due to the absence of external incisions, recovery from scarless rhinoplasty is typically faster than open rhinoplasty. Patients can expect mild swelling, bruising, and congestion in the first few days following surgery. Most individuals can return to light activities within a week, though residual swelling may take several months to subside fully. Post-operative care includes avoiding strenuous activities, refraining from wearing glasses directly on the nose, and keeping the head elevated while resting. Dr. Daraei will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing and long-lasting results.

Scarless Rhinoplasty Results

Scarless rhinoplasty provides natural-looking improvements to nasal aesthetics while preserving facial harmony. Patients can expect refined nasal contours, enhanced symmetry, and improved breathing function. While some initial swelling may temporarily be present, results will continue to improve as healing progresses over the following months. With proper care, the enhancements achieved through scarless rhinoplasty are long-lasting.

“Dr. Daraei is the best doctor”

If you're interested in rhinoplasty, Dr. Daraei is the best doctor to go to! I came to him with a deviated nose and severe breathing issues.
Now, only a month out of surgery, my breathing is amazing and my nose looks beautiful! I cannot say enough amazing things about Dr. Daraei and his work!!

“I love the results”

Dr. Daraei was initially recommended to me by a friend. I was particularly picky about who I wanted to do my rhinoplasty because I have ethnic features and I've also heard of people needing more expensive repeat procedures to fix their first rhinoplasty.
He has made the experience very smooth by being thorough, reassuring, and patient. I am about a year post op and I love the results, can't recommend him enough!

“I never felt rushed”

During the consultation all my questions were answered and Dr.
Daraei suggested the tissue removal from my eyelids. He mentioned the slightly swollen look that I thought was a sinus condition. When he showed me how much of my eyelid was hidden, l was amazed. He then took the time to explain the procedures I might want and answered every question I had. At no time did he make me feel pressured or rushed or that he had somewhere else to go.
