Rhinoplasty:

Rhinoplasty or a Nose job is as the name suggests surgery to

improve upon the nasal features. Functional problems associated
with a problem nose are also addressed in the same sitting. Many
genres of surgeons do the rhinoplasty surgery. However Plastic
Surgeons by their comprehensive surgical training and their ability
to see the aesthetics of you body as a whole are more appropriate
choice for the job ( You dont want a European nose on an Asian face
right !!!)
Consult our Plastic Surgeons with a list of expectations that you
have about your nose. Yes, making a list ensures that you dont miss
a point. Sometimes patients consult after a post trauma deformity,
in which case it will be desirable for you to get a pre injury
photograph along. You will be examined in detail, you will be
photographed in standard angles and a tentative surgical plan
(open/closed rhinoplasty, use of grafts/implants, osteotomies
needed, reduction/augmentation, tip reshaping strategies) will be
discussed with you along with expected outcomes. Once the plan is
finalised you will be booked for surgery. The surgery is done under
general anesthesia most of the times. You will be in hospital for
either one to two days depending on the magnitude of procedure.
Your nostrils will be having a pack inside for 48 hours and a acrylic
or gypsum splint would be placed over your nose if a bony work has
been done. The splint stays for a weeks time.
There will be some swelling over your nose which will take some
time ( about 6 weeks ) to come down so that you appreciate the
final result. Indian skin is thicker and takes time to settle down.
