Under the training of Dr. Kanodia, Dr. Dugar was able to master the technique of scarless rhinoplasty and ultimately decided to dedicate his entire surgical practice to the art of closed scarless rhinoplasty.
Dr. Dugar looks at his closed scarless rhinoplasty technique as an art that must be mastered. The art of scarless rhinoplasty dates back to roughly 1890 with Dr. Jacques Joseph. Since then, the technique has been passed on from generation to generation eventually leading up to Dr. Raj Kanodia whom Dr. Dugar was able to train. You can read more about the legacy and history of closed scarless rhinoplasty on Dr. Dugar’s website, https://www.scarlessnose.com/legacy-of-the-scarless-rhinoplasty/. Over roughly seven decades of closed rhinoplasties, the art of the closed scarless technique was tweaked and perfected. With Dr. Dugar’s intense medical and surgical education, as well as influence and training from the world’s best facial plastic surgeons, Dr. Dugar could take his knowledge and experience with this closed scarless technique and ultimately become one of the best-closed rhinoplasty surgeons in the world. However, Dr. Dugar does not believe he is perfect. In fact, he believes that if you want to be the best of the best, you must always be open to learning and improvement. The Japanese term, Kaizen, is the ideology of continuous improvement, something that Dr. Dugar lives by. He has incorporated the idea of Kaizen into his work and his practice, continuously learning how to tweak his technique to the best it can be. Dr. Dugar has dedicated his entire surgical practice and career to the art of closed scarless rhinoplasty so he can genuinely master and perfect his craft. By only focusing on a singular technique, Dr. Dugar can dedicate his whole career to mastering his surgical art.
There are numerous anatomical reasons why a person may want to get a rhinoplasty. Dr. Dugar takes a very conservative approach to his closed scarless rhinoplasty, fostering the ideas of simplicity and natural beauty. Therefore, Dr. Dugar does not follow the trends of a pinched or “barbie” nose but rather individualizes each patient’s surgical plans to their own specific anatomy to ensure they maintain their unique beauty. There are a few main types of closed rhinoplasty that are common for Dr. Dugar to perform. The first and probably the most common is a dorsal hump or a bump on the profile of the nose. For patients with a dorsal hump, Dr. Dugar will shave down the bone and cartilage on the bridge of the nose to decrease the prominence of this bump. Another type of closed scarless rhinoplasty is the slimming of wide nasal bones. This is when a patient feels that the width of their nose is too broad. For this, Dr. Dugar will use an osteotomy technique, traditionally known as ‘breaking of the bones’, to slim down the width of the nasal bones. Other types of scarless rhinoplasty include a bulbous nose tip, or a droopy tip. A bulbous tip is when the patient feels the tip of their nose is too bulky or round and wants it reduced. A droopy tip, on the other hand, is a tip that often appears to pull down when one smiles. Lastly, patients also seek out closed rhinoplasty for a crooked nose, which can often be caused by a deviated septum. All of these issues and concerns can be corrected with closed scarless rhinoplasty. Although the severity differs from patient to patient, being that each patient has their own unique anatomy. Dr. Dugar makes sure to study each of his patient’s nasal anatomy in depth to truly understand what surgical path is best for them.

The consultation process is a breeze, and Dr. Dugar is very informative and honest with what he believes is the best surgical plan for his patients. At your appointment, photos will be taken of your nose, and Dr. Dugar will examine the interior and exterior structural anatomy of your nose. You will then study your photos and speak with Dr. Dugar to discuss your wants and concerns for your nose. Dr. Dugar wants your initial consultation to be purely informative so both parties, himself and you, can truly understand your vision for your nose. Here at Scarless Nose®;, we recommend that you take your time with your decision for a closed scarless rhinoplasty and even have multiple appointments with Dr. Dugar to ensure that you are both comfortable and happy with your surgical plan.
Both the surgery process and the recovery process are surprisingly easy for most of Dr. Dugar’s patients. With the help of our wonderful surgical coordinator, as well as the surgical staff, the pre-operative process is very seamless for our patients. The surgery itself takes only about 90 minutes and is an outpatient procedure, meaning that you will be released from recovery the same day of your surgery! After the surgery, the recovery process, compared to other facial plastic surgery procedures, is not challenging at all. We ask that our patients stay in the Los Angeles area for seven days following their procedure. The first 48 hours following the procedure is typically the only time when our patients may feel a slight bit of discomfort. However, after this period, most of our patients feel great and experience very little to no bruising! Closed rhinoplasty is performed entirely within the nose and does not cause any external incisions, hence the term “scarless.” Because of this, patients typically experience less swelling and bruising and, ultimately, a factory recovery compared to open rhinoplasty. Here at Scarless Nose®;, Dr. Dugar and his staff are by your side before, during, and after your procedure to ensure you are comfortable and cared for. Surgical patients will have a cast on their nose for seven days after their surgery, which Dr. Dugar will remove on the 7th day. After this week has passed, Dr. Dugar’s patients can quickly resume their regular daily routine with very few restrictions.
Patient experience and patient satisfaction are extremely important to Dr. Dugar. He ensures that his patients are always comfortable with their closed rhinoplasty journey and happy with their results. Because of his conservative approach, Dr. Dugar has never had a patient in his surgical career who felt he did too much on their nose. Dr. Dugar takes great pride in his work and closed technique and simply wants all of his patients to obtain the results they’ve always dreamed of.
