What is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty, commonly referred to as a nose job, is designed to help those who are unhappy with the shape, size, or form of their nose, either for medical or aesthetic reasons. It is a very commonly performed plastic surgery in India.
Rhinoplasty operation was one of the greatest highlights of Indian medical history. It is said that in 1500 BC, Sushruta, who is called the father of plastic surgery, was the first to perform a cosmetic reshaping operation of the nose. Till date, India leads in the success of this procedure offering the most affordable rhinoplasty cost in India with the best doctors for rhinoplasty resulting in huge medical tourism in India.
The surgery is performed for two main purposes:
Aesthetic: to improve the appearance of the nose i.e. broad nostrils, bulging nose tip, hawk like nose, bump on the bridge etc. Functional: to correct the deviated septum to improve breathing
Nose plastic surgery or Rhinoplasty can accentuate your overall facial appearance by making the nose look in proportion with other facial procedures.
Benefits of rhinoplasty
A rhinoplasty surgery done by a skilled surgeon improves the overall appearance of a person's face
The shape, size, asymmetry and other imperfections are smoothened out
Breathing ability is improved and certain birth defects are corrected
The quality of life of the person gets better leading to a fulfilling life with feelings of anxiety/ lack of confidence disappearing which were there earlier because of poor shape of the nose
Am I a good Candidate?
If you are 18 or above, in good health, mentally and emotionally stable, with a dislike for your nose and have realistic expectations from the surgery, you are a good candidate for rhinoplasty.
If you are one of those who is thinking about rhinoplasty, then you would be curious to know what are the common reasons people undergo rhinoplasty. IndiCure has listed some of the reasons:
Breathing Difficulties – Deviated septum and nostril collapse are the main reasons for difficulty in breathing.
Snoring – Snoring is mainly caused by deviated septum. It can be congenital or due to trauma.
Shape Change – People often complain that they have a nose bridge that is either too big or too small; or broad or narrow nostrils or short philtrum etc. These can be re-contoured with a rhinoplasty.
Size Change – The size of the nose is another complaint most people have to make. A proportionate nose achieved with rhinoplasty can make a great difference to your face and make your facial features more harmonious, giving you a beautiful face.
Gaining Symmetry – It is a proven fact that facial symmetry is one of the surest signs of perfect beauty in all cultures. Since the nose occupies the centre of the face, there can be substantial disruption in overall symmetry with a crooked or off-centre nose.
If you are dealing with any of the above mentioned issues, you can educate yourself on rhinoplasty through this page and get a free consultation with one of our best rhinoplasty surgeons in India.
Types of rhinoplasty
There are various treatment options with rhinoplasty which decide the final goal of surgery such as:
Reduction Rhinoplasty The commonest type of rhinoplasty is to reduce the size of the nose in relation to the rest of the facial features by correcting the bridge, tip and nostrils.
Reconstructive Rhinoplasty
Ageing Rhinoplasty Ageing can cause constriction and drooping of nasal tissues. These problems can be alleviated by rhinoplasty.
How is Rhinoplasty done?
Step 1
Incisions are made on the inside of nostrils to lift a flap and gain access to underlying bone and cartilage.
Step 2
The required addition by grafts or reductions by removing tissues give the desired result.
Step 3
The flap is then closed and sutured.
What is the Recovery after Rhinoplasty like?
Nasal packing (if used), stays in the nostrils for one to seven days. The outside stitches, if any, are taken off within the next five to seven days. The inner stitches however dissolve by themselves.
To reduce swelling and to keep the nasal bones in place, the nasal splint is kept in place for seven days.
Light activity like returning to work or school can be resumed in the next ten days. It takes about 6 - 8 weeks to resume rigorous activities.
What Results Can I Expect from Rhinoplasty?
You can expect great results if you have realistic expectations from rhinoplasty. Final results of rhinoplasty may not be apparent until 6 months to a year after the surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Rhinoplasty is quite a popular procedure among people in Mexico, Central and South America. Calf implant surgery is commonly performed in both men and women. Unfortunately, many orthopedic surgeons and family physicians who see patients with a deformed or hypoplastic leg are not aware that augmentation can be performed.
You will have some pain and bruising which will last for a few days after the procedure. Keep your legs elevated which will help reduce the swelling. You will feel heaviness in your legs for the first few days and walking will be a little difficult, which will improve during the second week and thereafter. You will be able to return to normal activities in about 2 weeks, while exercising and rigorous work will have to wait for at least 6-8 weeks.
Fat transfer to calves is an option for people with a good amount of fat available from the donor sites- viz. your abdomen, thighs, arms, hips or buttocks from where the fat can be harvested. The advantage of fat transfer is that your own body fat is being used, so there are nil chances of rejection or infection. But the results may not be as pronounced as implants and a touch up may be required.
You can discuss the pros and cons of both the procedures- fat transfer to calves vs Rhinoplasty with your surgeon to make an informed decision.
Yes, you can run and do other exercises and work out after 8-10 weeks of the procedure or as directed by your surgeon.
