What is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty is a nose reshaping surgery that improves balance between your nose and other facial features. It can also correct breathing-related structural problems when required.

The best rhinoplasty outcome is subtle and believable. The goal is not to copy a template nose, but to create a profile that suits your face, ethnicity, and personal aesthetic.

Common Concerns

What Rhinoplasty Can Correct

Dorsal Hump

Smooth prominent nasal bridge bumps for a softer side profile while preserving natural character.

Wide or Bulbous Tip

Refine lower cartilage support to create a cleaner, better-defined tip that still looks authentic.

Broad Nostrils

Nostril base narrowing can reduce flaring and bring better facial proportion in front-facing photos.

Crooked Nose

Structural correction can improve midline alignment and symmetry after trauma or developmental deviation.

Breathing Block

When needed, septal correction is combined to improve airflow along with external reshaping.

Post-Surgery Dissatisfaction

Revision rhinoplasty addresses unresolved concerns from previous surgery with careful tissue planning.

Choose the Right Approach

Rhinoplasty Techniques

Technique selection depends on your anatomy, surgical goals, and whether breathing correction is needed. Dr. Dushyanth recommends the safest, most stable method for your case.

Closed Rhinoplasty

Best for: Minor to moderate shape correction

Incision approach: All incisions hidden inside the nostrils

Recovery profile: Most patients back to routine in 7-10 days

No visible external scar

Open Rhinoplasty

Best for: Complex tip or structural reshaping

Incision approach: Small columellar incision + internal incisions

Recovery profile: Mild swelling can persist longer than closed approach

Maximum surgical precision and control

Septorhinoplasty

Best for: Shape correction with breathing issues

Incision approach: Chosen based on internal anatomy and goals

Recovery profile: Functional breathing relief as healing settles

Combines aesthetic and functional correction

Revision Rhinoplasty

Best for: Previous rhinoplasty requiring correction

Incision approach: Customized approach, often open for visibility

Recovery profile: Slower due to scar tissue and prior surgery

Personalized re-balancing for difficult cases
Personal Fit

Am I a Good Candidate?

You are likely a good candidate if:

  • You want a natural refinement, not an artificial or over-sharp nose.
  • Your facial growth is complete (typically age 18+).
  • You are healthy, with no uncontrolled medical conditions.
  • You have realistic expectations and understand swelling takes time.
  • You are bothered by shape asymmetry, dorsal hump, tip issues, or breathing concerns.

Extra caution is needed if:

  • Frequent smoking or nicotine use during healing period.
  • Unrealistic expectation of perfect symmetry.
  • Recent major life stress making surgery timing difficult.
  • Active sinus or nasal infection needing treatment first.
  • Pressure from others rather than your own personal decision.
Step by Step

Your Rhinoplasty Journey

Step 0145-60 Mins

Consultation & Facial Analysis

Dr. Dushyanth studies your profile, skin thickness, breathing concerns, and facial proportions. Together, you define a realistic goal that looks naturally you, not overdone.

Step 0230-45 Mins

Pre-Op Planning & Anesthesia

Standard blood work and photography are completed before surgery. On procedure day, anesthesia is administered safely, and your surgical plan is marked for precise corrections.

Step 032-4 Hours

Reshaping the Nose

Depending on your needs, cartilage, bone, septum, and tip structures are refined through open or closed rhinoplasty techniques to improve shape, balance, and function.

Step 047-10 Days

Splinting, Recovery & Follow-up

A protective external splint supports healing for the first week. Swelling reduces gradually, and regular follow-ups ensure healthy recovery and a stable long-term result.

Healing Timeline

Recovery & Aftercare

Rhinoplasty recovery is gradual and predictable with proper care. The first week focuses on comfort and protection, while final definition appears over several months.

1
Week 1

Splint Week

What You Can Do

  • Rest with head elevated
  • Cold compresses around eyes and cheeks
  • Short indoor walks
  • Attend first follow-up and splint removal

What to Avoid

  • No nose blowing
  • No heavy lifting or bending down
  • No glasses directly on the nasal bridge
  • No gym or cardio

Pro Tip: Swelling and bruising are expected early and improve rapidly once the splint is removed.

2
Weeks 2-4

Early Settling

What You Can Do

  • Resume desk work and social activities
  • Gentle walks
  • Continue saline care if advised
  • Follow scar care instructions

What to Avoid

  • No contact sports
  • No sleeping face-down
  • Avoid heavy sunglasses or pressure on nose

Pro Tip: Tip swelling settles more slowly than bridge swelling. This is normal.

3
Months 2-3

Visible Refinement

What You Can Do

  • Most daily routines normalized
  • Gradual return to fitness after clearance
  • Regular follow-up photography

What to Avoid

  • Avoid accidental impact to nose
  • Continue careful sun protection

Pro Tip: Your profile looks significantly better, but subtle definition continues to improve.

4
6-12 Months

Final Definition

What You Can Do

  • Enjoy stable long-term shape
  • Maintain healthy lifestyle and skin care

What to Avoid

    Pro Tip: Final rhinoplasty outcome is judged at around one year, especially for tip refinement.

    Informed Decisions

    Risks & Safety

    Every surgery carries risk, and transparency is essential. Dr. Dushyanth discusses realistic outcomes, limitations, and safety protocols before you decide.

    Potential Risks

    Every surgery carries some risk

    Swelling & Bruising

    Possible (5-10%)

    How we mitigate: Expected in early healing and managed with elevation, cold compresses, and scheduled follow-ups.

    Temporary Nasal Congestion

    Possible (5-10%)

    How we mitigate: Internal swelling can block airflow initially; saline care and time usually resolve this.

    Minor Asymmetry

    Uncommon (1-5%)

    How we mitigate: Precise pre-op planning and careful structural adjustments reduce asymmetry risk.

    Scar Visibility (Open Technique)

    Rare (<1%)

    How we mitigate: Incisions are tiny and placed strategically; scars generally fade to fine lines.

    Need for Revision

    Uncommon (1-5%)

    How we mitigate: Thorough planning, realistic goals, and expert technique lower revision probability.

    Note: Serious complications are extremely rare when performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon in an accredited facility. Dr. Dushyanth will discuss all potential risks during your consultation.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Rhinoplasty in Hyderabad generally ranges between ₹1,20,000 and ₹2,80,000 for primary cases. Revision surgery may cost more because of complexity and scar tissue. Final pricing depends on your anatomy, surgical goals, and whether breathing correction is required.
    Most rhinoplasty procedures take about 2 to 4 hours. Complex structural or revision cases can take longer. You can usually go home the same day unless observation is advised.
    Pain is usually mild to moderate and manageable with prescribed medicines. Most patients describe pressure and congestion more than sharp pain during the first week.
    You will see clear improvement after splint removal in the first 1-2 weeks, but final definition, especially at the tip, may take 6 to 12 months.
    Yes. If you have a deviated septum, valve collapse, or internal structural obstruction, septorhinoplasty can improve breathing while enhancing appearance.
    Closed rhinoplasty leaves no external scar. Open rhinoplasty uses a tiny incision on the columella that usually heals as a fine, subtle line.
    Rhinoplasty is usually considered once facial growth is complete, commonly after 18 years. Suitability is decided individually during consultation.
    Most patients return to desk-based work in 7 to 10 days after splint removal, depending on swelling and comfort.
    Heavy glasses should be avoided on the nasal bridge for a few weeks. Your surgeon may suggest taping, forehead support, or contact lenses during this phase.
    Revision is considered only after healing is complete, usually around one year, unless there is a clear functional issue needing earlier intervention.
    That is the goal. Dr. Dushyanth focuses on facial harmony and proportion so your nose complements your features rather than looking surgically obvious.
    Stop smoking, avoid blood-thinning medications as advised, complete pre-op tests, and arrange support for your first recovery week at home.
