What is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty, commonly called a "nose job," is a surgical procedure designed to reshape, resize, or reconstruct the nose to improve both appearance and function. This comprehensive procedure can address various concerns including a prominent nasal hump, wide nostrils, drooping tip, crooked nose, or breathing difficulties caused by structural abnormalities.
Dr. Neel Gupta performs both cosmetic rhinoplasty (for aesthetic enhancement) and functional rhinoplasty (to improve breathing) at NG Plastic Surgery Centre in Ahmedabad. The procedure can be customised to maintain your ethnic characteristics while achieving your desired aesthetic goals.
Types of Rhinoplasty Available
- Open Rhinoplasty: Provides maximum visibility and precision for complex cases
- Closed Rhinoplasty: All incisions hidden inside the nose, shorter recovery
- Revision Rhinoplasty: Corrective surgery for previous unsatisfactory results
- Ethnic Rhinoplasty: Specialised techniques preserving ethnic characteristics
- Functional Rhinoplasty: Combined with septoplasty to improve breathing

- Adults aged 18+ with fully developed facial structure

Frequently Asked Questions About Rhinoplasty
How much does rhinoplasty cost in Ahmedabad?
Rhinoplasty cost in Ahmedabad typically ranges from ₹1,50,000 to ₹4,00,000, depending on the complexity of the procedure, surgeon's expertise, and facility. The final cost varies based on individual requirements and consultation with Dr. Neel Gupta provides accurate estimates.
How long is the recovery period after rhinoplasty?
Initial recovery takes 1-2 weeks with splint removal after 7-10 days. Most swelling subsides within 3-6 months, with final results visible after 12-18 months as residual swelling completely resolves. Dr. Neel Gupta provides detailed recovery guidance.
Is rhinoplasty painful?
Rhinoplasty is performed under general anaesthesia, so there's no pain during surgery. Post-operative discomfort is generally mild to moderate and well-controlled with prescribed pain medications for the first few days. Most patients find the recovery quite manageable.
Can rhinoplasty improve breathing problems?
Yes, functional rhinoplasty can significantly improve breathing by correcting structural abnormalities like deviated septum or enlarged turbinates. Dr. Neel Gupta often combines cosmetic and functional improvements in a single procedure.
Will there be visible scars after rhinoplasty?
With closed rhinoplasty, all incisions are inside the nose with no visible scars. Open rhinoplasty involves a small external incision that heals to become barely noticeable. Dr. Neel Gupta uses advanced suturing techniques to minimise scarring.
How do I choose between open and closed rhinoplasty?
The choice depends on your specific anatomy and surgical goals. Closed technique is suitable for minor modifications, while open approach provides better access for complex reshaping. Dr. Neel Gupta recommends the best approach during consultation.
Can I see the expected results before surgery?
Yes, Dr. Neel Gupta uses advanced imaging technology during consultation to show potential results. However, individual healing and final outcomes may vary slightly from computer simulations.
What age is appropriate for rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is typically performed after age 18 when facial growth is complete. For functional issues affecting breathing, surgery may be considered earlier. Dr. Neel Gupta evaluates each case individually during consultation.
