Open rhinoplasty procedures require an additional small incision made on the underside of the nose between the nostrils, resulting in a well-concealed, fine-line scar. Open rhinoplasty is preferred when doing tip work. The open procedure will produce excellent symmetry. Closed rhinoplasty is best suited for nasal hump reduction. See similar questions...

Different traditions give different answers. Closing your eyes may contribute to drowsiness and sleepiness--if that's the case for you then try opening them a little. Opening your eyes may be distracting. If that's the case try closing your eyes or direct your gaze on a blank wall (Zen-style).

Closed rhinoplasty involves incisions which are confined to the inside of the nose while open rhinoplasty involves an additional small incision made on the underside of the nose between the nostrils.

Like your kitchen oven, a gas grill is designed to cook with the lid closed, except for quick searing. Cooking with the lid-closed helps food retain natural juices, moisture, enhances flavor and keeps annoying flare-ups to a minimum. Also, heat is reflected from the lid, and foods cook not only from below, but also evenly on all sides from circulating hot air, (similar to convection oven) for faster, more fuel-efficient cooking.
