Dr Motykie’s Scarless Rhinoplasty
Many surgeons find the scarless, or closed, approach to rhinoplasty to be technically more demanding than the open approach—which is why it can be difficult to find a surgeon truly skilled in performing it. Most rhinoplasty surgeons are initially trained using the open technique, and not all pursue the advanced training required to master the art of performing a closed rhinoplasty.

Over the past 20 years, Dr. Motykie has performed thousands of scarless rhinoplasties on patients from around the world. That extensive experience has made him one of the world’s leading experts in this technique. He has also earned numerous awards from his peers recognizing his surgical skill and artistry in both primary and revision scarless rhinoplasty procedures.

Dr. Motykie believes the benefits of a scarless rhinoplasty often far outweigh those of the open rhinoplasty technique for the right patient. First and foremost, the scarless technique involves no external incision, meaning there is no visible scar on the nose. Second, in Dr. Motykie’s hands, the scarless approach can deliver results just as transformative as those achieved with the open method, without compromising the outcome.

More importantly, the closed approach preserves much of the nose’s natural structural support. This translates to less post-operative swelling, inflammation, bruising, and discomfort. In fact, many of Dr. Motykie’s patients report that the procedure was painless and that they were able to return to social activities and daily life far sooner than expected.

In addition to faster recovery, the rate of revision surgery is significantly lower with scarless rhinoplasty. This is likely due to the preservation of the nose’s natural framework, minimized disruption of internal healing pathways, and reduced risk of scar tissue formation. Because the technique is more targeted and less invasive, it typically results in smoother healing and fewer complications. It also decreases the need for supplemental cartilage grafting, which in turn reduces operating time, the risk of creating a larger or overly structured nose, and the likelihood of needing revision surgery to correct graft positioning.

Dr. Motykie customizes every scarless rhinoplasty based on the patient’s individual anatomy, aesthetic goals, and expectations. He understands how powerful a rhinoplasty can be in enhancing facial harmony and improving self-confidence. The nose is the central—and often most defining—feature of the face. For most patients, the goal is not a dramatic or artificial change, but rather a more refined, balanced, and natural-looking nose that complements their features without drawing attention to the surgery itself.

Dr. Motykie believes that a beautiful nose should blend seamlessly with the surrounding facial features. When appropriate, he will evaluate the balance between your nose, chin, and overall facial structure, and offer guidance on how to achieve natural, harmonious results—whether by addressing the nose alone or by thoughtfully combining it with other procedures, such as chin augmentation or facial fat grafting.

A critical part of every rhinoplasty consultation is assessing breathing function. Dr. Motykie will perform a thorough examination of your nasal airway, and any breathing issues identified will be addressed during surgery alongside with your aesthetic concerns.

Dr. Motykie is committed to delivering the results you envision. He takes the time to listen to your goals, understand your preferences, and—when appropriate—offer digital imaging to help you visualize your potential results. Furthermore, his involvement doesn’t stop at the operating table; Dr. Motykie continues to personally support his patients throughout the healing process to help ensure they achieve the most optimal results possible from their rhinoplasty surgery.
