Most rhinoplasty surgeons default to the open technique because it’s what they were trained to do. Dr. Raj Kanodia has spent 45 years perfecting closed rhinoplasty in Beverly Hills, performing over 15,000 procedures with no external incisions, no visible scarring, and faster recovery times than traditional approaches.
