Rhinoplasty in Kanpur, also called nose surgery, reshapes the nose by reducing or increasing the size, removing a bulge, changing the shape of the tip or bridge, narrowing the width of the nostrils, or changing the angle between the nose and the upper lip.

Thus, rhinoplasty in Kanpur corrects aesthetic or non-aesthetic deformations of the nose or even ventilation disturbances. Surgical treatment of the nose, which in less severe cases can be performed under local anesthesia, must simultaneously correct the aesthetic and functional components, so that the patient is able to breathe and improve. Sometimes the collaboration of an otorhinolangologist may be necessary.

There are different ways to correct the deformations. In some cases, the scars are totally invisible because they are made inside the nose, in more complex cases or with great alteration of the nasal tip, a rhinoplasty with a small external incision that becomes virtually invisible after some time may be preferable.

Before Surgery

The consultation

In the first consultation, you will express your wishes, and it will be explained how to proceed with the rhinoplasty, answering your questions.

At the consultation, we start by photographing your face in order to jointly analyze the necessary changes.

The patient must have realistic expectations and realize that their nose does not exist in isolation but is part of the face, where there are other structures that contribute to the relative appearance of the nose. Some of these landmarks are the lips, chin, and overall face length.

In rhinoplasty in Kanpur, it is therefore necessary to carry out a global assessment of the face and its profile.

During the consultation you will also receive information about the cost of the surgery, when we can perform the procedure and so on.

You can also complete a questionnaire about your health status, any illnesses, and previous operations. If you choose to continue with a nose wrap, we will arrange for adequate operating time.

The surgery

As for anesthesia, in cases where it is necessary to change the bone structure of the nose, general anesthesia is used. In cases where only the cartilaginous structures are modified, this can be done with local anesthesia associated with a tranquilizer or sedation.

There are different ways to correct the deformations. In some cases, the scars are totally invisible because they are made inside the nose, in more complex cases or with great alteration of the nasal tip, a rhinoplasty with a small external incision that becomes virtually invisible after some time may be preferable.

In some interventions, we place temporary silicone plates inside the nostrils to stabilize the tissues. They are removed after a week.

In some cases, cartilage transplants, harvested from the ear, rib or nasal septum, are necessary to recreate the correct nose and an optimal aesthetic result.

A splint associated with a small plug is often placed inside each nostril.

After Surgery

After seven days, you are welcome to check and remove the splint. It is recommended that you use surgical tape on your nose for another week. No other treatment is needed.

Result

The final result of rhinoplasty in Kanpur can be evaluated as soon as possible after six months, you will see an improvement already when we remove the stitches. But it’s important that you have realistic expectations.

The result varies between different people due to differences in skin inheritance and elasticity. We’re talking about the operation. If you have had functional nasal surgery to improve breathing, we can assess the outcome a few weeks after nasal involvement.

Does Rhinoplasty leave a scar?

In general, the incisions are made inside the nostrils and therefore are not visible. In some cases (open rhinoplasty) it is necessary to make skin incisions in the columella or on the wings of the nose, which remain imperceptible.
