Scarless Rhinoplasty
In San Diego
Scarless rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that alters the size and shape of a person’s nose and improves its appearance to be more symmetrical and proportional to the rest of the face.
Also known as closed rhinoplasty, the nasal anatomy is adjusted through incisions inside the nose. Closed rhinoplasty is designed to refine the nasal appearance, correct defects in the nose caused by an injury or irregularities that can affect how someone can breathe properly.

Dr. Malone is at the forefront of minimally invasive rhinoplasty techniques. She most often utilizes the scarless or “closed” endonasal rhinoplasty technique that leaves no scars and reduces healing time. This procedure features minimally invasive incisions made inside the nose to perform the sculpting of the nasal bones and cartilage and leave the desired shape changes. It is performed with specialized minimally invasive telescopes to allow nasal shaping with minimal disruption. Patients who undergo closed rhinoplasty typically heal faster than with the open rhinoplasty approach eliminating the need for any incision of the skin, thereby providing the most natural aesthetic results with hidden incisions.
The open rhinoplasty approach is performed through a small external incision on the underside of the nose. This incision heals very well and becomes less visible over time. This is the preferred approach for certain types of noses and nasal shaping techniques.
