About Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a 'nose job,' is a specialized surgical procedure performed by aesthetic and reconstructive surgeons to reshape the nose for both cosmetic enhancement and functional improvement. This delicate surgery can address a wide range of concerns, from refining the nasal bridge, tip, or nostrils for a more balanced facial appearance to correcting structural issues like a deviated septum that impede breathing. Modern techniques, including both open and closed approaches, allow for highly customized results tailored to the patient's unique anatomy and goals. By combining artistic vision with surgical precision, rhinoplasty can significantly boost self-confidence while improving nasal airflow, making it one of the most transformative procedures in facial plastic surgery.

Who is this surgery for?

Cosmetic desire to change the size, shape, or proportions of the nose (e.g., reducing a hump, refining the tip).
Correcting a deviated nasal septum causing chronic nasal obstruction or breathing difficulties.
Repairing nasal fractures or deformities resulting from trauma or injury.
Addressing congenital birth defects affecting nasal structure and function.

How to prepare

Undergo a comprehensive medical evaluation and nasal examination, which may include photographs and imaging.
Discuss surgical goals, techniques, and realistic expectations in detail with your surgeon.
Discontinue smoking and avoid blood-thinning medications (e.g., aspirin, ibuprofen, certain supplements) as advised by your surgeon.
Arrange for someone to drive you home after surgery and assist you for the first 24-48 hours.
Fill any prescribed medications in advance and prepare a recovery area at home with extra pillows to keep your head elevated.
Follow fasting instructions (typically no food or drink after midnight) prior to the surgery.

Risks & possible complications

Common side effects: Temporary swelling, bruising around the eyes, nasal congestion, and minor bleeding.
Anesthesia-related risks, such as allergic reactions or respiratory issues.
Infection at the surgical site, though rare with proper care.
Unsatisfactory aesthetic result, asymmetry, or the need for revision surgery.
Persistent breathing difficulties or changes in nasal function.
Numbness or altered sensation in the nasal area, which is usually temporary.
Scarring (typically well-concealed within the nostrils in closed rhinoplasty).

Recovery & hospital stay

Initial 1-2 weeks: A splint and possibly internal dressings will be worn. Significant swelling and bruising are common, peaking around day 3 and then subsiding.
Keep your head elevated, even while sleeping, for at least the first week to reduce swelling.
Apply cold compresses gently around the eyes (not on the nose) to minimize bruising.
Avoid strenuous activities, heavy lifting, and bending over for at least 2-3 weeks.
Do not blow your nose forcefully. Sneeze with your mouth open to protect the internal structures.
Attend all follow-up appointments for splint/stitch removal and to monitor healing.
Final results become gradually apparent as swelling fully resolves, which can take up to a year.

Typical hospital stay: 0-1 days (Often performed as a day-care procedure)
Expected recovery time: 10-14 days for return to non-strenuous work; 6-12 months for final result

PATIENT REVIEW

I'd been to three doctors with...

I'd been to three doctors with this weird fatigue and pain, everyone said it was stress. Dr. Mohanty was the first one who actually stopped and listened. He ordered a specific blood test the others hadn't, and it turned out to be something pretty rare. He explained it to me and my wife in plain English, no fancy jargon. I'm on the right treatment now, and I finally feel like myself again.
