What Is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty, also known as a nose job, is a surgical procedure to reshape the nose. The term “rhinoplasty” comes from the Greek words “rhino” (nose) and “plasty” (to shape). Originally developed in ancient India, the technique has evolved significantly over the centuries, growing in popularity in modern times. Performed using either open or closed techniques, the surgery typically lasts 1-3 hours, with a recovery period of about 1-2 weeks. Final results are seen within 6-12 months as swelling subsides and nasal structures settle into their new shape.
What Can Rhinoplasty Address?
In ancient times, rhinoplasty was performed to reconstruct noses damaged by injury or punishment. Today, it addresses both functional and aesthetic issues. The procedure can correct nasal humps, bulbous or wide tips, crooked noses, and asymmetry. It also resolves breathing problems caused by structural abnormalities, such as a deviated septum, providing both cosmetic enhancements and health benefits. The procedure has evolved to deliver more precise and natural-looking results, improving overall facial harmony.
Am I a Candidate?
Ideal candidates are those seeking to improve the appearance or function of their nose. They are generally in good health and have realistic expectations of the outcome.

Types of Rhinoplasty
Dr. Bapna specializes in a variety of different types of rhinoplasty procedures.
Primary Rhinoplasty
Primary rhinoplasty is the initial surgical procedure to reshape the nose, addressing aesthetic concerns and improving nasal function. This procedure can enhance facial harmony by correcting issues such as a dorsal hump, bulbous tip, or asymmetry.
Revision Rhinoplasty
Revision rhinoplasty is performed to correct or improve the results of a previous nose job. It addresses complications or dissatisfaction with the initial surgery, ensuring a more refined and satisfactory outcome by tackling structural and aesthetic issues.
Ethnic Rhinoplasty
Ethnic rhinoplasty is designed to match the nasal characteristics of different ethnic groups. It aims to enhance the nose’s appearance while respecting and preserving cultural identity, ensuring natural-looking results in harmony with the patient's facial features.
Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty
Non-surgical rhinoplasty uses injectable fillers to reshape the nose without surgery. It’s a minimally invasive option that can correct minor imperfections, smooth out bumps, and enhance nasal contours with minimal downtime and immediate results.
Our Method
for Rhinoplasty
We follow a meticulous method to ensure the best results for your rhinoplasty.
Initial Consultation
Dr. Bapna will assess your goals and evaluate your nasal structure. You’ll receive guidelines on pre-surgical preparations, including blood tests and instructions to stop smoking at least four weeks before surgery and no alcohol consumption two weeks before surgery.
24 Hours Before Surgery
Arrange transportation to and from the surgery, and make sure you have all you need to have a comfortable recovery area at home. Avoid eating or drinking after midnight, and follow any specific instructions provided by Dr. Bapna for medication and skin care.
Day of Surgery
The surgery typically lasts between one to three hours and may involve either local or general anesthesia. Dr. Bapna will make tiny incisions to access and reshape the underlying cartilage and bone using the open or closed technique.
24 Hours After Surgery
Rest and follow Dr. Bapna’s detailed post-operative instructions. Expect some swelling and bruising; use cold compresses to reduce discomfort. Avoid strenuous activities and keep your head elevated to aid in the healing process.
Post-Operative Care
Attend regular follow-up visits to monitor your recovery and ensure optimal results. Dr. Bapna will provide comprehensive aftercare, including guidance on cleaning incisions, managing pain, and gradually resuming normal activities.
Resume Day-to-Day Activities
Most patients can return to light daily activities and work, within 7-10 days. However, avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting for at least 3-4 weeks to ensure proper healing.
