Best Rhinoplasty (Nose Reshaping Surgery) in Ahmedabad | ADORN

By Dr. Harsh Amin – Leading Plastic Surgeon in India

Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, is a cosmetic or reconstructive surgical procedure that enhances the shape, size, and function of the nose. It is performed to improve facial harmony, correct birth defects, repair injuries, or enhance breathing.

Septoplasty is a functional procedure that corrects a deviated septum to improve breathing.

 Both can be performed individually or together, depending on the patient’s needs.

Who is a Candidate for Rhinoplasty?

✔ Are unhappy with the size, shape, or asymmetry of your nose

✔ Have breathing difficulties due to deviated septum or nasal obstructions

✔ Have suffered a nasal injury or trauma

✔ Want to correct congenital nasal defects

✔ Are in good health with realistic expectations

✔ Are 18 years or older, when nasal growth is complete

Benefits of Rhinoplasty

✔ Enhanced Facial Aesthetics – Balances the nose with other facial features

✔ Improved Breathing – Corrects structural defects like a deviated septum

✔ Boosted Confidence – Achieves desired nasal shape for a more attractive look

✔ Correction of Birth Defects or Trauma – Repairs nasal injuries and congenital issues

✔ Customization – Can be subtle or dramatic, depending on personal preference

1. Open Rhinoplasty

    ✔ Incision made on the columella (tissue between nostrils)

    ✔ Allows better visibility for major reshaping

    ✔ Suitable for complex nasal surgeries

2. Closed Rhinoplasty

    ✔ Incisions are made inside the nostrils, no visible scars

    ✔ Shorter recovery time

    ✔ Ideal for minor modifications

3. Reduction Rhinoplasty

    ✔ Reduces the size of a large or wide nose

    ✔ Removes cartilage and bone for a smaller, proportional nose

4. Augmentation Rhinoplasty

    ✔ Increases nose height or projection

    ✔ Uses implants, grafts, or synthetic materials

5. Functional Rhinoplasty

    ✔ Improves nasal breathing by correcting septal deviation or airway obstructions

    ✔ Often combined with cosmetic rhinoplasty

6. Revision (Secondary) Rhinoplasty

    ✔ Performed if previous rhinoplasty results were unsatisfactory

    ✔ More complex due to scar tissue and altered nasal structure

    - 3D imaging may be used to visualize possible outcomes.

Step 2: Anesthesia

Step 3: Incisions

    - Open Rhinoplasty – Incision on the columella.

    - Closed Rhinoplasty – Incisions inside the nostrils.

Step 4: Reshaping the Nose

Recovery After Rhinoplasty

✔ Initial Downtime: 1-2 weeks

✔ Swelling & Bruising: Peaks in first 48 hours, subsides in 2-3 weeks

✔ Breathing Difficulty: Normal due to swelling but improves within a few weeks

✔ Return to Work: In 7-10 days (depending on individual healing)

✔ Strenuous Activities: Avoid for at least 4-6 weeks

✔ Final Results: Visible after 6-12 months, as swelling fully resolves

What is Septoplasty?

Septoplasty is a surgical procedure that straightens the nasal septum—the cartilage and bone dividing the nostrils—to enhance airflow and correct breathing issues.
 

Indications for Septoplasty:

• Difficulty breathing through one or both nostrils

• Frequent nasal congestion or sinus infections

• Snoring or sleep disturbances caused by nasal obstruction

• Chronic headaches due to sinus pressure

• History of nasal trauma causing a crooked septum

Procedure Overview:

1. Anesthesia: Local or general anesthesia is administered based on the complexity.

2. Incision: The surgeon makes an incision inside the nose to access the septum.

3. Realignment: The deviated cartilage and bone are reshaped or removed to improve airflow.

4. Closure: The incision is sutured, and splints may be placed to stabilise the septum
 

1. How long does rhinoplasty surgery take?

    Typically 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on complexity.

2. Is rhinoplasty painful?

    There is mild discomfort, but pain is well-managed with medications.
 

3. Will I have visible scars?

    In closed rhinoplasty, there are no visible scars. Open rhinoplasty may have a small, hidden scar on the columella.

4. How soon can I see the final results?

    Major changes are visible in 3 months, but final results take up to 12 months as swelling subsides completely.
 

5. Can rhinoplasty improve breathing?

    Yes, if structural issues like deviated septum are corrected.

6. Will my nose look natural?

    Yes, Dr. Harsh Amin ensures natural, balanced results that complement your facial features.
 

7. How long do I need to wear a nasal splint?

    For 5 days post-surgery to support healing.

8. When can I return to work or school?

    Most patients resume normal activities in 7-10 days.

9. What happens if I’m not satisfied with my rhinoplasty results?

    Revision rhinoplasty is possible after 12 months, once the nose is fully healed.

10. Is rhinoplasty permanent?

Yes, results last a lifetime, but natural aging may affect the nose’s shape over decades.
 

11. Can I combine rhinoplasty with other facial surgeries?

Yes, it can be combined with chin augmentation, facelift, or eyelid surgery for balanced results.
 

12. Will insurance cover rhinoplasty?

If done for medical reasons (e.g., breathing issues), insurance may partially cover costs.
 

13. Can I wear makeup after surgery?

Yes, after 2 weeks, but avoid the nasal area.
 

14. What are alternatives to surgical rhinoplasty?

Non-surgical rhinoplasty with dermal fillers and APTOS THREADS can make temporary improvements.
