A beautifully balanced nose can transform the entire face, bringing harmony to your features and confidence to your daily life. Yet many prospective patients hesitate at the thought of a visible scar or an extended recovery.
At Bloom Facial Plastic Surgery, Dr. Jason Bloom and Dr. Julie Shtraks offer a sophisticated alternative: endonasal (scarless) rhinoplasty. This technique places every incision inside the nostrils, so the only thing the world sees is your refreshed profile.
What Makes Endonasal Rhinoplasty Different?
Traditional “open” rhinoplasty requires a small incision across the columella (the skin bridge between the nostrils) to lift the nasal skin and access underlying structures. While skilled surgeons can render this scar nearly imperceptible, some patients prefer to avoid any external mark altogether.
Endonasal rhinoplasty—closed or scarless rhinoplasty—creates discreet internal incisions, allowing Dr. Bloom or Dr. Shtraks to refine bone and cartilage without opening the nasal bridge.
The result:
- Zero visible scarring: Because all work is performed through the nostrils, no one (not even you) will see external evidence of surgery.
- Faster initial recovery: Most patients return to work or school in about a week. Swelling and bruising are typically minimal, thanks to advanced, tissue‑sparing techniques.
- Reduced long-term swelling: Less nasal soft tissue disruption means a smoother healing trajectory and an earlier glimpse of your final contour.
- Natural‑looking results: Precise internal access allows your surgeon to sculpt subtle improvements that complement your unique facial proportions.
Dr. Bloom employs the endonasal approach for more than 90 percent of primary rhinoplasties, a preference refined over a decade of experience.
Inside the Operating Room: Precision Without Compromise
Customized Surgical Plan
Success begins long before the first incision. During your consultation, high‑resolution photographs and Canfield Vectra® 3D imaging map your goals onto your anatomy, letting you preview potential outcomes while your surgeon designs a step‑by‑step strategy.
Board‑Certified Anesthesia
Your comfort and safety are paramount. A board‑certified anesthesiologist administers general anesthesia and monitors you throughout, so Dr. Bloom or Dr. Shtraks can devote full attention to sculpting your nose.
Scarless Refinement
Through tiny openings inside the nostrils, the surgeon delicately repositions bone, reshapes cartilage, or adds structural grafts to achieve a straighter bridge, a refined tip, improved projection, or better airflow—whatever your unique plan requires.
Thoughtful Closure & Splinting
Internal incisions are closed with dissolvable sutures. An external nasal splint supports your new contour for the first week, after which most patients reveal a nose that looks harmoniously “at home” on their face.
Is Endonasal Rhinoplasty Right for You?
Scarless rhinoplasty excels at addressing:
- Dorsal humps or bridge irregularities
- Mild to moderate crookedness
- Bulbous or drooping nasal tips
- Disproportionate nasal width or projection
- Functional concerns, such as airflow obstruction
Because every nose—and every face—is unique, candidacy hinges on anatomy, skin thickness, and desired changes.
During your consultation, Dr. Bloom or Dr. Shtraks will evaluate whether an endonasal approach alone can achieve your goals or whether an open technique (or hybrid strategy) will serve you better.
Integrity drives our recommendations: If a tiny external incision is necessary for optimal, lasting results, we will tell you—transparency is part of the Bloom difference.
