Question:

What are the advantages of having a closed rhinoplasty as opposed to an open one?

Answer:

The advantage of a closed rhinoplasty is that the swelling goes away faster.  Also, closed rhinoplasties do not have any visible scars.  Therefore, I believe that the closed approach is reasonable for simple surgeries, such as simply removing a hump.
