I had never really incorporated my right brain (creative) into rhinoplasty, whereas in reconstructive jaw surgery I use it all the time. It is hard to shift in such an opposite direction, but when your patients recover faster and your ability to see the long-term result at the time of surgery, you have to pivot. So that is what I have done. I now do almost all of my rhinoplasty closed.
