Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job or nose reshaping, is a prominent plastic surgery procedure aimed at enhancing facial symmetry by modifying the nose's shape, size, or angle. This surgery is widely sought for both cosmetic appeal and functional improvement, driven by factors like genetics, past injuries, or congenital irregularities.
Rhinoplasty can be performed using two main approaches: open and closed. In open rhinoplasty, incisions are made on the columella (the soft tissue between the nostrils), allowing extensive access to the nasal structure. This method is typically chosen for more complex modifications. Closed rhinoplasty involves incisions within the nostrils, resulting in no visible scarring and is suitable for less extensive reshaping.
The procedure typically begins with either general anesthesia, rendering the patient unconscious, or local anesthesia, numbing the area while the patient remains awake but relaxed. The choice depends on the specifics of the surgery and patient preferences. Surgeons might opt for open rhinoplasty to make precise alterations or closed rhinoplasty for adjustments that require less extensive reshaping. Techniques may include the removal or addition of bone and cartilage, reshaping the nasal tip, narrowing the nostrils, or adjusting the angle between the nose and the upper lip.
Following the surgery, dissolvable stitches are used to close incisions, and nasal splints may be placed inside the nostrils to stabilize the new structure. Bandages are applied externally. The initial recovery phase might involve pain, bruising, and swelling, especially around the eyes. Most patients resume normal activities within a week, although minor swelling can persist for several months. At Cutis, we implement specialized pre and post-operative regimens to minimize discomfort and facilitate a smoother recovery.
Rhinoplasty can dramatically alter the nose's appearance, improving facial balance and enhancing overall aesthetics. Specific changes can include smoothing out humps or depressions, refining the nasal tip, reducing nostril size, and adjusting the nasal width and the angle between the nose and upper lip.

I had an accident few years back, in which i had several injuries. Time heeled most of the things. But my nose is still defected and surviving through other problems too. So i wanted to take Rhinoplasty. I had consulted many a doctors in this regard but their opinion were not satisfying for me. Then i got to know about Dr. Chintan Patel through internet and after consultation with the Doctor I feel bit relaxed as i know that i was at the right place this time for me.Doctor heard me patiently and then advised the better. After due consultation, i had rhinoplasty under Dr. Chintan Patel and now i found my nose is looking much better than earlier it was. Further, it is worth mentioning that the environment of the Hospital is very good and staff was very co-operative.
Rhinoplasty can correct structural defects, improve breathing, enhance facial harmony, and increase self-confidence by aligning the nose more proportionately with other facial features.
Ideal candidates are individuals with complete facial growth (typically 13 years or older), non-smokers, in good health, and with realistic expectations about the outcome.
Open rhinoplasty involves an incision on the columella, allowing for extensive structural modifications, while closed rhinoplasty involves incisions inside the nostrils, suited for less extensive changes without visible scarring.
Most patients return to daily activities within a week, but full recovery, including the subsidence of minor swelling, can take several months.
Preparation involves avoiding medications that increase bleeding, not smoking, and arranging for post-surgery care.
