What is Rhinoplasty Surgery?
Rhinoplasty reshapes the nasal bones and cartilage to correct a hump, a crooked nose, a drooping or bulky tip, or wide nostrils. It is one of the most common facial plastic surgeries performed worldwide. When the septum is also involved, the procedure addresses breathing obstruction at the same time.
Dr. Vicky Jain performs rhinoplasty for patients with cosmetic concerns, breathing problems, or both. The nose sits at the center of your face. A change here, even a small one, shifts how the entire face reads.
Nose Concerns Rhinoplasty Corrects
Nasal Hump Removal
A dorsal hump is the most common reason patients seek rhinoplasty. Dr. Jain removes excess bone and cartilage from the bridge so the profile reads straight or gently curved from the side.
Crooked or Asymmetric Nose
Correction requires osteotomies (controlled repositioning of the nasal bones) along with cartilage work to bring the nose into alignment.
Bulky or Drooping Nasal Tip
Dr. Jain uses suture techniques and cartilage grafting to refine, elevate, or define the tip while keeping the result natural.
Wide Nostrils
Nostril reduction removes a small wedge of tissue at the base of each nostril. Incisions are placed in the natural crease so scarring is not visible.
Post-Injury Deformity
Nasal fractures often heal in a displaced position. Rhinoplasty corrects the resulting crooked profile, collapsed bridge, or internal airway obstruction.
Breathing Difficulty
Septorhinoplasty combines cosmetic reshaping with correction of the deviated septum, improving airflow without changing the external structure more than needed.
Types of Rhinoplasty Surgery
Open Rhinoplasty
A small incision across the columella gives direct access to the nasal structure. Used for complex reshaping and tip work. The scar fades to near-invisible within 6 to 12 months.
Closed Rhinoplasty
All incisions inside the nostrils. No external scar. Works well for hump reduction or limited tip refinement, with shorter swelling timelines.
Septorhinoplasty
Combines cosmetic rhinoplasty with septoplasty. For patients who have both an aesthetic concern and a breathing problem blocked by a deviated septum.
Revision Rhinoplasty
Corrects results from a previous nose surgery, whether the concern is cosmetic or functional. More complex than primary rhinoplasty due to altered anatomy and scar tissue.
Recovery Timeline
7–10 Days
Splint comes off. Swelling and bruising present. Most patients return to desk work.
2–4 Weeks
Visible bruising resolves. Avoid strenuous activity. Social presentability improves.
3 Months
Major swelling subsides. The nose is close to its final shape. Most patients are comfortable in photos.
Up to 1 Year
Fine swelling at the tip fully resolves. Final results assessed at 12 months post-surgery.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Rhinoplasty?
Most patients are between 18 and 45, have finished facial growth, and are in good general health. Dr. Jain bases the decision to operate on your anatomy, your specific concerns, and what is structurally achievable.
You are likely a candidate if you want to correct a nasal hump, straighten a crooked nose, refine a bulky tip, reduce nostril width, or improve airflow blocked by a deviated septum. Past nasal fractures that left deformity are also treatable. Rhinoplasty improves the nose you have. It does not produce someone else's nose.

RhinoplastyFrequently Asked Questions
What is the suitable age group for rhinoplasty?
Most surgeons wait until facial growth is complete: 16 to 17 for female patients, 17 to 18 for male patients. There is no upper age limit for healthy adults.
What does rhinoplasty cost?
Cost depends on procedure complexity, technique used, and whether functional correction is needed alongside cosmetic reshaping. Dr. Jain's team provides a detailed cost breakdown during consultation.
What anesthesia is used for rhinoplasty?
General anesthesia in most cases. Surgery takes 1.5 to 3 hours depending on complexity.
What tests are required before rhinoplasty surgery?
Standard pre-operative blood work, a nasal examination, and in some cases imaging. Dr. Jain's team provides a complete pre-surgery checklist at consultation.
Is rhinoplasty painful?
Surgery is performed under anesthesia, so there is no pain during the procedure. The first 48 hours post-surgery involve mild discomfort and nasal congestion, managed with standard medication.
How long does rhinoplasty recovery take?
Most patients return to work within 7 to 10 days. Final results develop over 6 to 12 months as swelling fully resolves.
Will my results look natural?
Natural results come from working within your facial proportions, not overriding them. Over-correction is the primary cause of unnatural outcomes. Dr. Jain's approach avoids this.
Is rhinoplasty permanent?
Yes. Structural changes to bone and cartilage are permanent.
