What is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty aka nose reshaping/ repairing surgery or nose job, is a plastic surgery designed to fix the nose imperfections and bring it to the desired appearance and functionality. The goal is to create a nose profile in harmony with the entire facial structure.

Types of Rhinoplasties

There are two surgical techniques for performing rhinoplasty, namely:

Open Rhinoplasty- In this operation, a small incision is made in the columella in continuation with the cut made within the rim of the nostrils. It allows the surgeon to entirely visualize the inside structures of the nose and make major alterations to bones and cartilage.
Closed Rhinoplasty- This operation involves making an incision within the nostrils to separate the skin from underlying bones and cartilage.

Based on the purpose for which the nose job is done, there are further types of rhinoplasties, including:

Cosmetic rhinoplasty- This type of rhinoplasty only focuses on improving nose shape, size, symmetry, and proportions with the rest of the facial features.
Septorhinoplasty- This is performed for the correction of deviated nasal septum to improve breathing along with nose appearance.
Ethnic rhinoplasty- This is the nose job done to augment or reduce the nose size and make the nose appear in line with the patient’s ethnicity and cultural identity.
Revision rhinoplasty- This is the second rhinoplasty performed when cosmetic or functional nose concerns show up after a previous rhinoplasty. Consult Dr. Shilpi Bhadani, rhinoplasty surgeon in India, to learn more about this procedure in detail and your eligibility for this procedure.

How is Rhinoplasty Performed?

Rhinoplasty surgery is executed under the effect of local or general anesthesia, provided 35-45 minutes before commencing the operation.

Here is a general overview of the procedure:

The surgeon makes an incision within the nose or at the nose base, depending on which surgical technique is chosen to perform
Through the incision, the skin is kept aside carefully to get access to underlying nasal bones and cartilage
The surgeon reshapes the bones and cartilage. Grafting may be done if there is a shortage of natural bones and cartilage
The skin and tissues are re-positioned over the modified bones and cartilages and the incisions are closed using sutures
Lastly, the surgeon places a nasal pack or splint to support and secure the operated nose.
