Rhinoplasty often referred to as nose reshaping surgery or nose job, is an aesthetic nose surgery that is used to alter the size and shape of the nose.
Depending on the patient’s needs, rhinoplasty can be done alone or in conjunction with septoplasty surgery to restore any damage caused to the nose as a result of an accident or injury.
When it comes to rhinoplasty, understanding the fundamental structure of the nose is essential. The upper part of the nose is composed of bone, while the lower half is made up of cartilage. For attractive and desirable results, rhinoplasty may be performed on bone, cartilage, or both individually or simultaneously.

The three main types of rhinoplasty are:
Open Rhinoplasty: One of the most common types of nose surgery is open rhinoplasty. In an open rhinoplasty, a tiny incision is made in the columella, which joins all relevant parts of the nose that must be altered. The nasal tip is then raised to open up the nose. Because open rhinoplasty is an open operation, there is direct access to nasal airways, making it much easier to operate and correct flaws.
Closed Rhinoplasty: Another common type of nose surgery is closed rhinoplasty. Incisions are made within the nostrils in a closed rhinoplasty. As a result, there is no visible scarring following this treatment. Closed rhinoplasty, as its name implies, is a closed operation. As a result, there is less tissue dissection and difficult nasal vision. Typically, closed rhinoplasty is done to improve or change the nasal bridge and appearance-related problems that are caused by it.
Septoplasty: The goal of septoplasty surgery is to fix a deviated septum that obstructs nasal air flow, causing breathing difficulties, headaches, and congestion. Septoplasty surgery aims to improve the nose’s function by changing it functionally.
You must fulfill the following criteria if you want a nose surgery—
Dr. Sudhakar Prasad will explain the surgical procedure in detail during a consultation. The type of rhinoplasty is determined by taking into account the patient’s individual situation.
A physical examination is performed on the patient and his or her medical history, prior operations if any, and expectations for the procedure are noted.
Dr. Sudhakar Prasad ’s main focus is on patient safety and attaining the patients' goals for the final outcome. Dr. Sudhakar places a high value on the consultation, looking at all aspects and concerns in order to provide the finest results possible.
Rhinoplasty is an outpatient surgery which means the patient is usually not hospitalized before or after the surgery. It can take them a few hours to recover from the surgery.
Here are the steps involved in the whole procedure:
The process usually involves administering general or local anesthesia along with intravenous sedatives. The doctor makes the best choice for each patient individually.
In the next step, Dr. Sudhakar Prasad makes the incisions. During the consultation, the type of surgery (open or closed) is decided. Depending on the type, an incision is made either externally or internally.
After that, Dr. Sudhakar Prasad reshapes the nose. The process involves one of the following: shortening or lengthening the nose; increasing or decreasing the size of your nose; widening or narrowing down your nose.
If the nose needs implants, Dr. Sudhakar Prasad will use the material which was decided upon during the consultation (silicone, cartilage or bone).
Widening and narrowing the nostrils is done by adding or removing cartilage or bone within them.
Septal cartilage grafts are the most common method to improve the shape of the nose.
Rib cartilage can also be used. Filler injections and fat grafting may be used to smooth out wrinkles and cover up imperfections. This is done until Dr. Sudhakar Prasad achieves the desired shape of your nose.
A septoplasty is usually performed to straighten the nose and correct the breathing issues associated with a deviated septal cartilage. After the nose is shaped, the incisions are stitched up.
If rhinoplasty is done for the purpose of reconstruction after an accident or to improve the functionality of the nose (like septoplasty surgery), insurance may cover part or all of the cost. However, if nose reshaping surgery or rhinoplasty is performed solely for cosmetic reasons as a nose job, it will not be covered by insurance. The total cost of rhinoplasty is determined by a variety of elements, like:
The cost of a nose job also varies on the sort of nose surgery performed, the rhinoplasty technique utilized for nose remodeling, the surgeon’s skill and knowledge, as well as the clinic’s or hospital’s accreditation.
Book AppointmentSome benefits of rhinoplasty surgery are:
A splint along with bandages will be used to cover the location after a nose operation or nose job. The splint aids in the post-operative support of the reshaped contour induced by rhinoplasty surgery. After a few days, the splint and stitches are removed.
Rest is encouraged by the doctor to aid in the healing process. It’s quite typical to experience discomfort and swelling, as well as black-blue marks beneath the eyes, during this time period. These generally go away after a few days. Certain medicines may be given by Dr. Sudhakar Prasad to help with the pain. They must be taken as prescribed and on time to achieve optimum results.
Dr. Sudhakar Prasad will also provide specific directions on how to care for the site, such as taking a bath rather than showering, avoiding strong facial expressions, and avoiding heavy physical activity for at least a few days.
Dr. Sudhakar Prasad , Board-certified Plastic Surgeon of Dr. Sudhakar Prasad, Hyderabad, recommends following up at the clinic once every three weeks for the first six months after surgery to ensure that your wounds heal properly and the results are as expected. Because it takes a long time for the nose contour to assume its optimal form, the effects are not immediately apparent.
Here are a few of the infrequent risks that come with rhinoplasty:
Pain and swelling
Numbness in the nose
Infection
Poor healing or scarring
Pigmentation or discoloration on the nose
Breathing difficulties
Unsatisfying results
These risks are quite unusual, and the utmost care must be taken to ensure that they do not become a reality.
