Question:
Is Asian rhinoplasty more often performed with an open or closed approach?
Answer:
Asian rhinoplasty can be done either way. I have found that surgeons who use silicone implants with tip extension for Asian rhinoplasty seem to use a closed approach more often. Surgeon who are trying to create a more sculpted tip with the patients own cartilage seem to prefer open approaches. This would be my usual approach since I don’t like to use the silicone implants.
