Nose correction surgery in Delhi

There is no single sequence of changes that suits every nose. Your surgeon will assess what needs reshaping and whether tissue needs to be reduced, repositioned or added. A cartilage graft may be needed to support or build up part of the nose.

The anaesthesia plan depends on the operation and your health. Local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia may be used, as advised by the surgical and anaesthetic team.

1. Anaesthesia: medication is given before the procedure begins.
2. Incisions: the surgeon uses the planned open or closed approach.
3. Reshaping: the underlying nasal bone and cartilage are adjusted.
4. Septum assessment: a deviated septum may be corrected where this is part of the agreed treatment plan.
5. Closure: the incisions are closed and support or dressings are applied as needed.

After surgery, you are monitored as the anaesthetic wears off. Discharge may be on the same day or after an overnight stay, depending on the procedure, your health and your recovery.

A nasal splint is often worn for around one week. Bruising and swelling around the eyes can take several weeks to settle. Swelling in the nose improves gradually, and the final shape takes months to become clear.

Your surgeon will advise when you can return to work and exercise. Strenuous activity is commonly restricted for around four to six weeks, with timing adjusted to your healing and the operation performed.

Rhinoplasty has risks, including bleeding, infection, breathing difficulties and an outcome that may need further correction. Consultation should cover these possibilities, your medical history, aftercare and realistic expectations. Bring any safety questions to the discussion so you can make an informed decision.
