Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure to reshape the nose for improved aesthetics, proportion, or breathing function. Good candidates are in good health, have finished facial growth, have realistic expectations, and wish to address concerns such as dorsal humps, wide nostrils, tip asymmetry, or deviated septum.

Most rhinoplasty procedures take between 1.5 to 3 hours depending on complexity. Open rhinoplasty may take slightly longer than closed techniques. Dr. Goyal will provide a specific timeline during your consultation.

Most patients return to desk work within 7–10 days. Swelling and bruising peak in the first week and improve steadily. Strenuous activity should be avoided for 4–6 weeks. Final results become apparent over 6–12 months as residual swelling resolves.

Closed rhinoplasty leaves no external scars. Open rhinoplasty involves a small incision at the columella that typically heals into a barely visible line. Dr. Goyal uses meticulous closure techniques to minimize scarring.

Yes. Functional rhinoplasty or septoplasty can correct a deviated septum, enlarged turbinates, or nasal valve collapse to improve airflow. Aesthetic and functional improvements can often be addressed in a single procedure.

Rhinoplasty results are permanent. While natural aging continues, the structural changes made during surgery remain. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and protecting your nose from trauma helps preserve your results long-term.
