Internal Rhinoplasty – Is it scarless? or a scam?

There are 2 main ways to perform rhinoplasty, through an external incision or through internal incisions inside the nose – this is sometimes called scar-less surgery. The reality is that many more manoeuvres can be performed though an external approach rhinoplasty and therefore in most noses a more natural appearance can be achieved.

In some cases an internal approach simply cannot achieve the result you are looking for. The “scar” in external rhinoplasty is so small and discreet in almost all people and cannot be seen on close inspection.

So to answer the question is scarless surgery a scam – sort of.  Beware of any surgery that promises “minimal scarring” because it usually means “minimal results”. Any rhinoplasty surgeon should be able to perform internal and external approach rhinoplasty and may have a preference for one over another but should be able to talk about the advantages and disadvantages of both.
