At Scarless Nose®, Dr. Deepak Dugar is famously known for his closed rhinoplasty procedures. In these procedures, Dr. Dugar is able to subtly modify your nose to your liking with a minimally invasive closed technique. This means that no external incisions are made during the procedure, and all modifications to the nose are done internally.
Closed rhinoplasties are often referred to as “scarless” rhinoplasties because the patient is able to attain their desired results without any external scarring, as opposed to open rhinoplasties, which require external incisions of the nose.
Both closed and open rhinoplasties are permanent procedures. During these procedures, the bone and cartilage structure of the nose is permanently modified and reshaped. These procedures are not reversible and will last forever. Unlike closed and open rhinoplasties, there is also a procedure referred to as a “liquid” rhinoplasty.These rhinoplasties do not actually permanently change the shape of the nose.
Liquid rhinoplasties use filler, which is injected into the nose, to subtly alter the appearance of the nose. These fillers, however, are dissolvable and usually last about a year. Since these liquid rhinoplasties are not permanent, patients will often require a filler touch up approximately every 12 months or so.
Since Dr. Dugar’s closed rhinoplasty procedures are permanent, each patient undergoes a full consultation process to ensure that the procedure is a good fit for them. At your nose consultation appointment, Dr. Dugar will inspect your nose to access and formulate the perfect surgery plan that is personalized to your specific wants and needs. At the appointment, you will be able to thoroughly discuss your personal desires for your nose with Dr. Dugar himself. He will be able to answer any questions and concerns you may have about the procedure and make sure you are fully comfortable and confident with the surgery plan. Dr. Dugar is always very honest with his patients when speaking to them about what he believes they need or don’t need.
The best way to know if closed rhinoplasty is the best option for you is to make a consultation appointment to speak with Dr. Dugar. Dr. Dugar will give you a full rundown of the procedure and will also discuss the pre and post-operative care that will take place as well.
