Abstract :
Endonasal rhinoplasty, also known as closed rhinoplasty, is a surgical procedure used to modify the nasal structure for aesthetic or functional purposes without leaving visible scars. Its main advantage is achieving natural results with a faster recovery compared to other techniques.
This surgical approach requires high precision and a deep understanding of nasal anatomy, as it combines technical skills with an artistic perspective. Over time, it has proven to be an effective option due to its multiple benefits, such as reduced postoperative edema and a shorter recovery period. This article details the endonasal rhinoplasty technique, highlighting its relevance and effectiveness without comparing it to open rhinoplasty, as both have specific indications. It emphasizes the importance of surgeons mastering both approaches to provide options tailored to the individual needs of patients.
A clinical case is presented involving a 21-year-old female patient who sought to improve her nasal profile due to the presence of a dorsal hump and a drooping tip. A closed rhinoplasty was performed under general anesthesia in an appropriate surgical setting, achieving a satisfactory aesthetic outcome with an uneventful postoperative recovery. Currently, endonasal rhinoplasty remains a key technique within the global trend of preservation rhinoplasty, which prioritizes the conservation of nasal structures to ensure stable and harmonious long-term results.
