Why MCh + MS ENT matters

MCh Plastic Surgery is the highest super-specialty surgical qualification in India - a 3-year post-MS programme in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery covering the full breadth of aesthetic and reconstructive work. MS ENT is a surgical Master's degree in Ear, Nose and Throat - the specialty most directly concerned with nasal anatomy, airway function, and sinus and septal pathology. For a facial-aesthetics surgeon, holding both means the structural and aesthetic dimensions of the face are understood from two independent surgical disciplines. In a field where practitioners may have attended short courses rather than completed formal training, this combination is genuinely rare.

About Rhinoplasty Surgery In Delhi

What Is Rhinoplasty Surgery

Get the best rhinoplasty surgery at Handa Plastic Surgery one of the best clinics for rhinoplasty surgery in Delhi.Rhinoplasty is a medical procedure that essentially reshapes your nose. The underlying object of rhinoplasty surgery in Delhi may be both cosmetics or improved breathing or both. It’s pertinent to understand the anatomy of the nose to wisely acknowledge rhinoplasty. The upper portion of our nose is bone and the lower part is the cartilage. Rhinoplasty can possibly change your cartilage, skin, and bone as well.

The nose surgery may be performed inside the nose or by making a small incision at its base, between the nostrils. For minute changes, your surgeon may use cartilage from the ear or deeper inside of the nose. However, for relatively larger changes, cartilage may be taken from the rib or other body parts. Subsequently, the nose’s skin and tissues are replaced back and sealed with stitches. Moreover, if the septum (wall between two sides of your nose) is crooked or deviated, it can be nursed by the surgeon to improve breathing. Let’s know more about rhinoplasty surgery in Delhi.

Why Rhinoplasty Surgery Is Done

Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, is performed for various reasons. Primarily, it aims to enhance nasal aesthetics, correcting asymmetry, size, or shape irregularities. Beyond cosmetic purposes, rhinoplasty addresses functional issues like breathing difficulties due to structural abnormalities, injury, or congenital defects. Patients seek this surgery to refine the nasal appearance, rectify deformities resulting from accidents, improve breathing, or resolve birth-related nasal irregularities. Rhinoplasty procedures are tailored to individual needs, offering not only aesthetic improvements but also functional enhancements, significantly impacting self-confidence and overall quality of life.

Do's & Don'ts of Rhinoplasty

To guarantee a successful and easy recovery after rhinoplasty surgery in Delhi, it's crucial to be knowledgeable about the dos and don'ts before having the procedure done:

Do's:

  • Consultation with a Qualified Surgeon: Select a Board Certified Cosmetic Surgeon with rhinoplasty experience. During the initial meeting, go through your worries, objectives, and medical background.
  • Realistic Expectations: Set reasonable goals for the outcome. A professional surgeon will explain what is possible and what is not based on your nose anatomy.
  • Follow Pre-Operative Instructions: Comply with your surgeon's pre-operative instructions, such as abstaining from alcohol and specific drugs, to achieve the best outcomes and reduce risks.
  • Plan for Post-Operative Care: Make arrangements for post-operative care and a ride home from the hospital.

Don'ts:

  • Smoking and alcohol use: should be avoided before and after surgery since they might slow recovery and raise the possibility of problems.
  • Strenuous Activities: To prevent undue pressure on the nose, refrain from strenuous activities or workouts for a few weeks after the procedure.
  • Touching or Picking the Nose: To avoid infections or harm to the sensitive tissues, refrain from touching or picking your nose while healing.
Our team of skilled surgeons at Handa Aesthetics is committed to providing safe and efficient rhinoplasty surgery in Delhi. We put your health and happiness first, ensuring you get the outcomes you want while preserving a balanced, natural face look.

Different Types of Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, is a surgical procedure designed to improve the shape, size, or functionality of the nose. There are various types of rhinoplasty tailored to meet specific needs.

1. Open Rhinoplasty

This technique involves a small incision on the columella (the tissue between the nostrils), providing full access to the nasal structure for extensive reshaping or reconstruction.

2. Functional Rhinoplasty

This procedure aims to improve nasal function and correct issues such as breathing difficulties caused by structural abnormalities like a deviated septum or collapsed nasal valves.

3. Revision Rhinoplasty

Also known as secondary rhinoplasty, this is performed to correct or refine results from a previous rhinoplasty. It is more complex and requires skilled expertise.

4. Closed Rhinoplasty

Performed with incisions inside the nostrils, this technique offers minimal scarring and is ideal for minor adjustments or reshaping without significant structural changes.

5. Reconstructive Rhinoplasty

Used to rebuild the nasal structure after trauma, cancer removal, or congenital defects, reconstructive rhinoplasty restores both appearance and function.

6. Liquid Rhinoplasty

A non-surgical option, liquid rhinoplasty uses dermal fillers to temporarily correct minor imperfections like bumps or asymmetry, offering a quick solution without surgery.

Each type of rhinoplasty is customized to suit individual needs, whether for aesthetic enhancement, improved functionality, or corrective purposes. Consulting an experienced surgeon ensures the best outcomes.

Right Candidate for Rhinoplasty Surgery in Delhi

If you are best suited for rhinoplasty or not is for your surgeon to ponder upon. The doctor would analyze your facial features, skin on the nose, and your wants. A customized plan will be architectured if you make the right candidate for this surgery. The following factors play a pressing role in deciding your eligibility for your nose surgery-

  • Overall health condition
  • Complete facial growth. If nose surgery is to be performed solely for cosmetics, it is advisable to wait till your nasal bone grows completely. For girls, it fully grows at about 15 years of age and for boys, it might take a few more years. However, if it is being adopted for treating any infirmities, then rhinoplasty surgery in Delhi can be performed at an early age as well.
  • A habitual smoker may not be a suitable candidate for rhinoplasty.
  • Functional infirmities of the nose.
  • Appearance concerns.

What does the procedure include?

  • The rhinoplasty surgery involves a thorough assessment by the doctor to analyse the problem in the area of the nose and correct it.
  • After the proper assessment, the doctor devises a surgical plan and the incisions.
  • Anaesthesia is administered to the patients, and then surgery is performed to ensure minimal pain.
  • Different incisions are made, and then the face around the nose is sculpted and readjusted to give proper shape to the nose.
  • Once the procedure is done, the incisions are sutured up, and bandages are applied to give proper support.

Rhinoplasty Aftercare and Recovery

Your surgeon performing rhinoplasty surgery in Delhi may apply a plastic or metal splint on your nose following surgery. While your nose heals, the splint will help it retain its new shape. They may also insert nasal packs or splints into your nostrils to help stabilise your septum.

Following surgery, you will be observed in a recovery room for at least a few hours. If everything is in order, you will depart the next day after pack removal. Because the anaesthetic will still affect you, you'll need someone to drive you home. If the procedure is difficult, you may need to stay in the hospital for a day or two.

You may have absorbable stitches, which dissolve and do not need to be removed. If the stitches are not absorbable, you will need to see your doctor again a week following surgery to have them removed.

Used on every rhinoplasty at Handa.

Rhinoplasty Technology · Signature
Piezotome
Ultrasonic precision bone reshaping
Selective bone cutting — soft tissue, vessels, periosteum preserved through osteotomy
Dramatically less post-operative bruising — the "black eyes" of traditional rhinoplasty significantly reduced
Faster swelling resolution — most patients socially presentable within 2–3 weeks
More precise and reproducible dorsal hump reduction and lateral osteotomy
Better healing environment — preserved periosteum supports faster bone healing
Piezotome vs Traditional
What the difference looks like in practice
Traditional osteotome: bone fractured. Periosteum torn. Bruising 2–4 weeks. Piezotome: ultrasonic vibration. Periosteum intact. Bruising 7–10 days.
Loupe Magnification
3.5× magnification for all cartilage work
Cartilage reshaping under 3.5×–4.5× loupe magnification. Precision not possible with the naked eye.
3D Morphing
Pre-operative goal-setting with visual reference
Before agreeing a surgical plan we use 3D imaging. A planning tool — not a promise.

Candidacy & Who Rhinoplasty Is For

Who rhinoplasty is right for — and who it isn't.

We turn away roughly one in seven consultations.

Likely a good candidate
Characteristics associated with good outcomes
You have a specific concern — a hump, drooping tip, wide bridge — that you can describe without reference to someone else's nose
You have been bothered by this concern for at least 12 months
You want refinement, not transformation — a nose that suits your face
You are over 18 and in good general health, non-smoker
You have functional breathing concerns (deviated septum) that can be addressed simultaneously
Your AHI baseline indicates genuine nose-specific distress
You can allow 10–14 days downtime and 12 months to see the final result
If this sounds like you, the consultation will likely be productive.
Likely not ready — or not right
Characteristics that may prompt a "not now"
You are under 18 — nasal bone growth typically complete at 17–18 in females, 18–19 in males
You are seeking someone else's nose — bringing a celebrity reference is a contraindication
You have had recent, significant life stress
Your concern extends to multiple facial features simultaneously
You are a heavy smoker with no willingness to pause
You have had prior rhinoplasty and seek immediate revision — earliest is 12 months post primary
Your anatomical goals are not safely achievable
You may receive an honest "not yet".
