What is Rhinoplasty aka Nose Job? 

​Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to reshape, resize, or improve the function of the nose. It's one of the most common facial plastic surgeries performed worldwide.​​

​

Why Do People Consider Rhinoplasty?

• 1. Cosmetic Reasons:

• A nose that appears too large, wide, or crooked

• Asymmetry or visible bumps on the bridge

• A drooping or bulbous nasal tip

• Nostrils that are too wide or uneven

• 2. Functional Reasons:

• Difficulty breathing due to a deviated septum

• Nasal trauma from accidents

• Congenital nasal abnormalities

​

What is the suitable age group for Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty is generally suitable for individuals who have completed their facial growth, which typically occurs around 15 to 16 years of age for girls and 16 to 17 years for boys. Most patients consider rhinoplasty in their late teens to adulthood, commonly between the ages of 18 and 40, when they are physically and emotionally mature enough to undergo cosmetic surgery. While younger adults often seek the procedure for aesthetic reasons, older individuals may choose rhinoplasty to correct functional issues such as breathing difficulties or age-related structural changes. Ultimately, the ideal age depends on each person's facial development, health status, and personal goals, and Dr. Vicky Jain carefully evaluates all these factors before recommending the procedure.

How long does recovery take for Rhinoplasty?

Recovery after nose surgery is a gradual process. Most patients can return to school, work, or light activities within 7 to 10 days.

• Initial swelling and bruising usually improve within 2 to 4 weeks.

• Final results—the refined shape of the nose—may take up to 1 year to fully settle as deeper healing continues.

Dr. Vicky Jain ensures you have clear aftercare instructions and personalized support throughout your recovery, so you feel confident and cared for every step of the way.​

Tests Requirements

Before performing rhinoplasty, Dr. Vicky Jain ensures your safety and readiness for surgery by recommending a few essential medical tests. These help assess your general health and make sure there are no risks during or after the procedure.

Anesthesia 

Rhinoplasty is typically performed under either general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation, depending on the complexity of the procedure and the patient’s medical condition.

Possible Side Effects of Rhinoplasty

Like any surgical procedure, rhinoplasty may involve certain side effects. Most are temporary and resolve during the healing process. Common side effects include:

• Swelling: Especially around the nose and eyes; usually peaks in the first few days and gradually subsides over weeks.

• Bruising: Typically around the eyes and cheeks; fades within 1–2 weeks.

• Nasal Congestion: Due to internal swelling or splints; improves as healing progresses.

• Mild Pain or Discomfort: Usually well-managed with prescribed medications.

• Numbness: Temporary numbness around the nose or upper lip is common and fades over time.

• Scarring: Minimal, especially in closed rhinoplasty. Open rhinoplasty may leave a small scar at the base of the nose, which usually fades well.

• Minor Bleeding: May occur during the first few days post-surgery.

• Infection or Reaction to Anesthesia: Rare but possible, and typically prevented with proper surgical protocols.

Common Pre-Surgery Tests Include:

Before undergoing rhinoplasty, several tests are typically required to ensure the procedure is safe and appropriate for the patient. Blood tests are conducted to evaluate overall health, blood count, and clotting ability. A chest X-ray may be recommended, especially if there is a history of asthma or breathing issues, to assess lung health. An ECG (electrocardiogram) is often advised for patients over a certain age or those with a cardiac history to monitor heart function. A thorough nasal examination is performed to evaluate internal structures, such as a deviated septum or enlarged turbinate's. Additionally, photographs are taken for surgical planning and to compare before and after results. Dr. Vicky Jain may recommend further tests based on individual medical history, ensuring that every step is carried out with utmost care, comfort, and confidentiality.
