Cosmetic Surgery

Rhinoplasty (Nose Reshaping Surgery)

Rhinoplasty, commonly referred to as a "nose job," is one of the most sought-after facial cosmetic procedures worldwide. At Amit Aesthetics in Aligarh, Dr. Amit Agrawal brings over 29 years of surgical expertise to deliver natural-looking, harmonious results that complement your unique facial features. Whether you seek to correct a dorsal hump, refine a bulbous nasal tip, or improve breathing function, rhinoplasty can address both aesthetic and functional concerns in a single procedure.

The surgery is performed through either an open or closed approach depending on the complexity of the correction required. In an open rhinoplasty, a small incision is made across the columella (the tissue between the nostrils), providing the surgeon with direct visualization of the nasal framework. In a closed rhinoplasty, all incisions are hidden inside the nostrils, resulting in no visible external scarring. Dr. Agrawal carefully evaluates your nasal anatomy, skin thickness, and aesthetic goals during your consultation to recommend the most appropriate technique.

Modern rhinoplasty is a precision procedure that reshapes the underlying bone and cartilage to achieve the desired contour. Advanced techniques such as cartilage grafting and controlled osteotomies allow for predictable, lasting results while maintaining or improving nasal airflow. Every rhinoplasty at our clinic is tailored to the individual — there is no one-size-fits-all approach to nose surgery.

Recovery & Aftercare

A nasal splint is applied immediately after surgery and is typically removed after 7 days. Mild to moderate swelling and bruising around the eyes and nose is normal and subsides progressively over 2–3 weeks. Most patients return to work and normal daily activities within 10–14 days. Strenuous exercise should be avoided for 4–6 weeks. While the nose looks significantly improved within the first month, final results may take up to 12–18 months as residual swelling fully resolves — particularly at the nasal tip.

Frequently Asked Questions

Am I a good candidate for rhinoplasty?
Ideal candidates are adults whose facial growth is complete (typically 18 years or older), who are in good overall health, and who have realistic expectations about the outcome. Whether your concern is a dorsal hump, wide nostrils, a crooked nose, or breathing difficulty, a consultation with Dr. Agrawal will determine the best approach for your anatomy.
Will rhinoplasty leave visible scars?
In a closed rhinoplasty, all incisions are placed inside the nostrils, so there are no external scars at all. In an open rhinoplasty, the small incision across the columella heals into a nearly invisible fine line within a few months. Dr. Agrawal uses meticulous suturing techniques to minimize any trace of the incision.
How long does the surgery take and what anesthesia is used?
Rhinoplasty typically takes 1.5 to 3 hours depending on the complexity of the case. The procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia, though some minor tip refinements can be done under local anesthesia with sedation. You will be able to go home the same day.
When will I see the final results?
You will notice a significant improvement once the splint is removed at 7 days, though swelling will still be present. About 80% of the swelling resolves within 3 months. The final, refined result — especially at the nasal tip — becomes fully apparent at 12–18 months post-surgery.
