Will My Nose Job Be Noticeable?
June 27, 2024
Rhinoplasty is a popular nose recontouring procedure that can enhance facial balance, allowing small changes to the nasal structure to make a powerful improvement. One of the most essential benefits of this procedure is the ability to attain greater harmony between your facial features with strategically placed or internal incisions. Unlike other cosmetic procedures, rhinoplasty incisions are strategically concealed either internally or along the undersurface of the nose. This makes any scarring from surgery virtually undetectable, regardless of whether the open or closed technique is utilized.
During rhinoplasty, board-certified plastic surgeon Joe Gryskiewicz, MD makes inconspicuous incisions to minimize visible scarring and ensure a natural-looking result. Possible approaches to nose surgery include:
- Closed rhinoplasty: These incisions are typically made inside the nostrils, resulting in no visible scars from the outside. Dr. Joe Gryskiewicz is the only plastic surgeon in Minneapolis who performs closed incision rhinoplasty, offering patients at our Burnsville practice no external scarring and more discreet results than other providers.
- Open rhinoplasty: During open rhinoplasty, the incision is made along a natural crease of the columella — the narrow strip of tissue that separates the nostrils. By placing the incision where the undersurface of the nose meets the upper lip, scarring is often invisible to outside observers once it’s fully healed.
Strategic placement of these incisions allows Dr. Gryskiewicz to access the nasal structures while keeping scars hidden within the natural contours of the nose. Advances in cosmetic surgery and meticulous suturing further contribute to the subtlety of these incisions, making them nearly imperceptible over time.
As one of the most renowned aesthetic surgeons in Minnesota, Dr. Joe Gryskiewicz is passionate about helping patients achieve the facial harmony that can elevate their confidence.
