Rhinoplasty, or ‘Nose Job’ as it is commonly called, is a surgical procedure to alter the shape and size of the nose, to make it more cosmetically elegant.

Rhinoplasty can be done to correct the following conditions:

• Removing a hump from the nose
• Straightening the nose bridge
• Fixing any asymmetry
• Reshaping the tip of the nose
• Narrowing or widening of the nostrils
• Post-injury correction
• Making the nose bigger or smaller

There are two types:

Open Rhinoplasty

Closed Rhinoplasty

OPEN RHINOPLASTY

In open Rhinoplasty, the incision or cut for the surgery is given at the columella (the narrow strip between the two nostrils) and inside the nostrils. This provides the surgeon with a wide reach, and is done for more extensive corrections.

The incision for open rhinoplasty is placed in such a way, that once healed, it is barely visible.

CLOSED RHINOPLASTY

In closed Rhinoplasty, the incision is placed inside the nostrils, and there is no visible scar on the outside after the surgery. Closed Rhinoplasty is done only in cases where minor corrections are required.

This will be decided by your Plastic Surgeon after examining you. Dr Ankit will assess your nose, and discuss with you regarding the expectation you have from the Nose Job, and then the procedure will be decided based on the level of corrections required.

You can consider Rhinoplasty if:

• Unhappy with the shape, size, and appearance of your nose
• The nose is crooked and out of alignment
• Have a nasal hump
•  The nasal tip is not either drooping or elevated
• Suffering from breathing and congenital birth defects

You can have Rhinoplasty surgery as long as you are above 16 years of age. Before that, the face and nose is not fully formed, and the future growth may alter the shape of the nose.

The ideal candidate should be physically fit, and preferably a non-smoker.

The recovery post Nose Job Surgery is quite smooth. The patient will be discharged with nose packs, which are removed after 48-72 hrs. The nose splint will remain in place for up to a week.

There will be some swelling and bruising initially, which subsides in 1-2 weeks.

The patient needs to take the following precautions:

• Avoid any injury and manipulation of the nose
• Keep your head elevated
• Do not blow your nose
• Do not smoke
• Do not engage in strenuous activities

The results can be visualized after the nose splint is removed and the swelling subsides. However, the results keep improving for up to a year post surgery, during which time, the final shape and contours of your nose get established.
