Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty: общие сведения

Rhinoplasty in India is plastic surgery used to change nasal shape, improve proportions or correct selected structural problems that affect breathing. It may be cosmetic, reconstructive or combined with functional nasal surgery. The operation can address the nasal bridge, tip, nostrils, asymmetry, previous trauma or selected deformities, but the plan should be based on facial balance, skin thickness, cartilage and bone anatomy, airway function and realistic goals.

Before surgery, patients usually undergo a plastic-surgery or facial-plastic ENT consultation with external and internal nasal examination. Standardised photographs are used for planning, and nasal endoscopy or CT may be added when breathing difficulty, septal deviation or sinus disease needs assessment. Previous rhinoplasty, nasal trauma, medicines, smoking or nicotine use and expectations about appearance are important to review.

Surgery may use an open or closed approach and can involve bone reshaping, cartilage grafting, tip refinement, septal correction or nostril modification. Functional septorhinoplasty may combine airway reconstruction with external reshaping. Important risks include bleeding, infection, persistent obstruction, asymmetry, contour irregularity, numbness, scar issues and the possibility of revision surgery. Swelling can take months to settle fully.

The cost of rhinoplasty in India depends on primary versus revision surgery, cosmetic versus functional complexity, graft requirements, surgeon, hospital, anaesthesia and postoperative care.

India offers access to plastic surgeons and facial-plastic ENT surgeons at specialist and tertiary hospitals with functional nasal assessment and reconstructive capability.
