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. India remains a major destination for rhinoplasty today, with experienced surgeons and costs well below those in the UK, US, New Zealand and Australia.
The surgery is performed for two main purposes:
Aesthetic: to improve the appearance of the nose i.e. broad nostrils, bulging nose tip, a prominent dorsal hump, 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 the rest of the face.
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:
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.
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.
Incisions are made on the inside of nostrils to lift a flap and gain access to underlying bone and cartilage.
Grafts are added or tissue removed to reshape the bridge, tip or nostrils as planned with the surgeon.
The flap is then closed and sutured.
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.
Most patients are pleased with the change, though what is achievable depends on your nasal structure and skin, which the surgeon will assess. Final results of rhinoplasty may not be apparent until 6 months to a year after the surgery.
We at IndiCure completely understand your concerns and it is always our endeavor to provide the best outcome for every patient. Following is the list of questions you must ask before you embark on your journey for Rhinoplasty in India.
Prepare to answer questions about your:
Rhinoplasty is one of the most frequently performed cosmetic procedures worldwide, and it is carried out for functional reasons as well as aesthetic ones - a deviated septum or difficulty breathing through the nose among them. It is performed on both men and women.
Nasal packing, if used, stays in the nostrils for one to seven days, and the nasal splint is kept in place for about seven days to reduce swelling and hold the nasal bones in position. Any outside stitches are removed within five to seven days; inner stitches dissolve on their own. Light activity such as returning to work or school is usually possible within about ten days, and it takes around six to eight weeks before rigorous activity can be resumed.
The type depends on what the surgery is meant to achieve. Reduction rhinoplasty is the most common, reducing the size of the nose in relation to the rest of the face by correcting the bridge, tip and nostrils. Reconstructive rhinoplasty rebuilds the nose after injury or where there is a structural problem. Ageing rhinoplasty addresses the constriction and drooping of nasal tissues that can come with age.
Which applies to you is decided at consultation, after the surgeon has examined your nose.
Light activity is usually possible within about ten days, once the splint is out. Running and other rigorous activity should wait around six to eight weeks, and contact sports longer, so the nasal bones are not disturbed while they heal. Your surgeon will confirm when it is safe.
