Scarless Rhinoplasty

What is scarless rhinoplasty?

Scarless rhinoplasty, also called closed rhinoplasty, is a surgical technique used to reshape your nose without leaving visible external scars. Unlike open rhinoplasty, which involves small incisions in the tissue between the nostrils, Dr. Friedman performs scarless rhinoplasty entirely through those internal incisions.

The approach enables him to modify your nasal structure while leaving the external skin untouched. The result is no visible scarring.

Is scarless rhinoplasty right for me?

You might be a candidate for scarless rhinoplasty if you need mild to moderate adjustments to the shape of your nose. The procedure can do the following:

• Smooth a small dorsal hump
• Refine the nasal tip
• Narrow the nasal bridge
• Improve nasal symmetry
• Correct minor breathing problems

You should be in good general health, have realistic expectations of the outcome, and require no extensive structural work or major revisions, which would be better suited for open rhinoplasty.

How does scarless rhinoplasty work?

During the procedure, Dr. Friedman makes small, hidden incisions inside your nostrils. Through these openings, he gently reshapes the internal bone and cartilage to improve your nose’s appearance and/or function.

The techniques used can include shaving a dorsal hump, refining the tip, or correcting septal deviation. Additional steps can include narrowing your nasal bridge or improving nasal airflow. Because the skin isn’t lifted as it is in open rhinoplasty, this method minimizes swelling, reduces trauma, and allows a quicker recovery.

What results can I expect with scarless rhinoplasty?

Scarless rhinoplasty can provide a more balanced, symmetrical nose with improved definition. You don’t have to worry about the procedure leaving visible scars. You can also expect the swelling to subside quickly. Since the procedure is less invasive, you should be able to return to your normal activities within a week or two.

Your results will continue to refine over several months as the internal healing progresses and subtle contours take shape.

Dr. Friedman has pioneered and refined advanced minimally invasive nasal surgery techniques that make the entire process safer, speed up recovery time, and deliver more consistent and natural rhinoplasty outcomes. This approach has earned him international recognition and is something he provides to every single one of his patients. After years of training medical students, residents, and visiting surgeons from across the globe at prestigious institutions like the Mayo Clinic and the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, Dr. Friedman has now opened his own private clinic—where he brings that same level of world-class surgical expertise to a more personal, one-on-one patient experience, welcoming individuals from both near and far.
