One of the most common aesthetic concerns for both males and females at any age is the appearance of their noses. The nose is a focal point of the face, and it can transform one’s appearance aesthetically. The face may appear distorted and create an unflattering illusion if one has problems with asymmetry, a noticeable bridge hump, or an elongated nasal tip. Many people opt for rhinoplasty surgery to eliminate these concerns and create a nose that blends better with their other facial features.

To provide one with useful information, Dr. Mrinalini Sharma discusses rhinoplasty in detail. She is a leading plastic surgeon at Aestiva Clinic, widely known for performing the best Rhinoplasty Surgery in Delhi. Keep reading to learn more.

What is Rhinoplasty? 

Rhinoplasty, also called a nose job, is a procedure that sculpts the appearance, shape, or size of the nose either due to cosmetic reasons or to treat other defects. The procedure is intended to change the structure of the nose to improve the nose's appearance. Achieving a more aesthetically pleasing form may entail removing or adding bone and cartilage.

Here is a list of benefits individuals seek from the procedure:

• Personality – The most common reason individuals opt for rhinoplasty is to boost their confidence and improve their appearance.
• Breathing issues – People seek rhinoplasty as a treatment for breathing issues that are caused due to a birth defect or other reasons.
• To treat abnormality – It helps treat abnormalities caused due to accidents or trauma.
• Sinus treatment – Sinus troubles such as breathing issues, headaches, and congestion in the nose can also be treated with the help of rhinoplasty.
• Snoring - It can also be decreased to a great extent with this procedure.
• Revision rhinoplasty - It can help correct any untreated issues or complications that have occurred because of previous surgeries.
• Face appearance – Rhinoplasty surgery helps reshape the nose, fix minor issues or crooked nose, and restore the symmetry of the face.

What Happens During the Rhinoplasty Procedure? 

Rhinoplasty surgery is performed to alter the shape and size of the nose. It can also be used to correct functional nasal concerns, such as misalignment of the nasal septum, or to improve the nose’s appearance for cosmetic reasons. The procedure is usually done under general or local anesthesia, depending on the extent of the surgery. The surgeon will make incisions either in the nostrils or across the columella (the skin between the nostrils). The rhinoplasty surgeon can access the underlying bone and nose’s cartilage with these incisions. Afterward, the surgeon will reshape the bone and cartilage to achieve the desired results. This could involve removing the excess bone or rearranging the existing bone and cartilage to alter the shape of the nose.

Once the desired shape has been achieved, the incisions will be closed, and the nose will be splinted to heal. The procedure usually takes two to three hours to complete, depending on the extent of the surgery.

To allow the nose to heal after surgery, the patient must take it easy and refrain from physical activities for a while. After the procedure, there might be some swelling and bruising around the nose and eyes, but these adverse effects usually go away within a few weeks.

What are the Different Types of Rhinoplasty Treatments? 

The different types of rhinoplasty surgery performed at Aestiva Clinic, a leading plastic surgery clinic, are as follows:

Open Rhinoplasty: This is a type of rhinoplasty where the surgeon makes an incision across the columella (the skin between the nostrils) and within the nostrils. As a result, the surgeon can perform the procedure with visibility and has access to the underlying bone and cartilage.

Closed Rhinoplasty: This type of rhinoplasty involves making all incisions inside the nostril, leaving no visible scarring. This method can be used for minor adjustments to the nose

What is the Cost of Rhinoplasty Surgery? 

The cost of rhinoplasty surgery can vary depending on several factors, including the clinic's location, the case's complexity, and the surgeon’s experience. The varied components included in the rhinoplasty cost are surgeon's fees, anesthesia fees, laboratory fees, post-operative care, etc. Some surgeons also include the cost of follow-up care, such as dressings and medications, in the overall rhinoplasty procedure cost.
