What are the three types of rhinoplasty procedures for patients in India?

COSMETIC RHINOPLASTY

These are patients who have no functional problems and are looking to improve the look of their nose. This can involve any of the following:

• Reduce or increase the height of the nose
• Narrow or broaden the dorsum
• Make tip sharper, more prominent
• Correct hanging tip
• Narrow base of nose
• Reduce nostril size

FUNCTIONAL RHINOPLASTY

This kind of nose surgery involves patients who have issues with their breathing. This can involve several reasons

• Repairing damage caused by an injury- an old fracture
• Deviated nasal septum
• Hypertrophied tubinates
• Septal spurs

These patients need to be evaluated properly and often need a CT scan before they can be properly diagnosed.

SECONDARY RHINOPLASTY

Often, patients who have had a rhinoplasty previously with another surgeon and aren’t happy with the result or have been left with functional problems. These are challenging cases that need specialized treatment.

Secondary rhinoplasty at Venkat Center Bangalore

Good candidates are usually young adults above 18 (though good results can be attained in older age groups). It is best if the candidate has a clear idea of what they are looking for with realistic expectations and positive goals.

Consultation for rhinoplasty surgery

During your rhinoplasty consultation, your nose will be evaluated by Dr. Aniketh both cosmetically and functionally and compared to established ideals. You will also be asked about your goals and expectations. Other aspects of your face will also be evaluated for overall facial harmony. Numerous measurements and values are taken to provide a complete evaluation of your face.

Functional examination

Your nasal cavity will be evaluated to rule out any breathing issues, such as a deviated septum. If indicated, a CT scan may be performed to evaluate the situation further. It is important to keep in mind that form cannot take priority over function. It is important to have a nose that breathes at the end of the day. This cannot be compromised for an unrealistic cosmetic correction. Dr. Aniketh will guide you in making the best decision in this regard.

Simulation

Finally, a customized plan will be made to suit your nose. This will be simulated on your photographs on a computer (although it is important to remember this is a simulation only). The simulation provides an idea of what the goals of the surgery are. It is a blueprint. It cannot be guaranteed that the final results will match the simulation as this depends on many factors including your healing capacity.

Other Factors

Often the nose is not the only unbalanced factor in the face. The chin might be retruded or face tissue might be sagging. Dr. Aniketh will advise and guide you on these issues as well, which can be addressed during the surgery itself.

The final plan

Once the plan is agreed on by both Dr. Aniketh and you, the next step towards nose surgery is taken.

Points to note before rhinoplasty procedure

• Your general physical examination and some routine lab tests are done to evaluate your fitness for surgery.
• It is important you stop smoking for 2 weeks prior to surgery.
• The operation is performed under general anesthesia however, the majority of the patients can be discharged a few hours following surgery feeling quite comfortable and generally free of pain.

What happens during rhinoplasty surgery?

Rhinoplasty surgery is done as an outpatient procedure under general or local anesthesia, depending on individual circumstances. In either case, you will not feel any pain during the procedure.

• During the procedure, Dr. Aniketh will make incisions in the nostrils.
• Depending on your requirement, this can be done by open method (with an incision across columella) or closed method (without this incision).
• The nasal structure is then exposed.
• Various manipulations are made as needed on the bone, cartilage and soft tissue. The overall plan is to bring balance to the nose. This is done by both sutures as well as grafts
• If there is excess cartilage causing humps, it is removed.
• If there isn’t enough cartilage causing depression, it is added.
• If the cartilage is bent or out of shape it is sutured properly.
• The bones are too wide, they are narrowed.
• Any other medical issues such as deviated septum, the septal spur will also be corrected at the same time.
• If the nostrils are wide, they are narrowed.
• For damaged noses or secondary cases, it may be necessary to harvest cartilage from other parts of the body such as ear or chest. This is usually needed only in extreme cases.
• Once the reshaping process is complete, the skin will be put back in place and the incisions sealed. A splint is then applied.

What can I expect after nose surgery?

You will have nasal splints and gauze for a week after rhinoplasty surgery, with swelling and bruising for up to 2 weeks, which will then start to diminish, but would be slightly visible for a few months post-surgery.
