A Nose Surgery – also known as a Rhinoplasty or a ‘Nose Job’ – is a procedure used to change the shape and proportions of the nose. Nose Surgery is done with an effort to define certain characteristics, such as the nasal tip, the width of the bridge, nasal asymmetry, or humps and depressions visible along the nose profile.
These traits are a result of genetics or sometimes caused by injury or facial trauma. Additionally, some Rhinoplasty patients undergo the procedure to correct structural abnormalities that may be an obstruction to breathing.

Rhinoplasty, also known as a “Nose Job,” can be performed for both cosmetic and medical reasons. Some candidates for Rhinoplasty may have a nose that is too large or too small in proportion to their face, a bump on the bridge of the nose or a flat bridge, a wide or upturned nostrils, or a crooked or asymmetrical nose. Others may have difficulty breathing due to structural abnormalities in the nose.
Good candidates for Rhinoplasty are typically over the age of 15, as the nose is not fully developed until then. It’s also important for candidates to have realistic expectations for the procedure and understand that it can’t change everything about the nose.
In addition, candidates should be in good overall health and have a positive attitude and specific goals in mind for the surgery. It’s also important that they understand the risks and benefits of the procedure and have a clear communication with their surgeon.
Ultimately, the best way to determine if Rhinoplasty is right for you is to Schedule a Consultation with Our Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. Karan Shetty. He will be able to evaluate your individual case and provide you with more information about what to expect from the procedure and whether you are a good candidate.
Rhinoplasty is done under General Anaesthesia at Tara healthcare. Incisions are made to assess the tissues, cartilage and bones inside and surrounding the nose. Our Board Certified Plastic & Aesthetic Surgeon Dr. Karan Shetty will assess your nose and will take the decision to remove or add tissues in order to achieve the desired surgical results. The plan of the surgery will be discussed during your consultation prior to the surgery. Tissues can be added from one part of the body to the nose. The new shape and structure of the nose is supported by splint till the nose heals.
After Rhinoplasty Surgery, the patient can expect some swelling and bruising around the nose and eyes. This typically subsides within a week to 10 days. The patient may also experience some pain and discomfort, which can usually be managed with pain medication prescribed Dr. Karan Shetty and his team. The nose will be packed with gauze and/or a splint to maintain its new shape and the patient will be instructed to keep their head elevated and avoid blowing their nose or bending over for the first few days.
It is common to have some difficulty breathing through the nose for the first few days or weeks following surgery, but this should improve as the swelling goes down.
