Dr. Kapoor's cosmetic surgery clinic offers a full range of cosmetic surgical procedures.

Rhinoplasty, also known as “nose job” is a plastic surgery procedure that is used to improve the function or appearance of a person's nose. Rhinoplasty can be performed for aesthetic reasons or to correct congenital defects or breathing problems.

Rhinoplasty was first developed by Sushruta, an important physician (often regarded as the "father of surgery") who lived in ancient India circa 500 BC to reconstruct noses that were amputated as a punishment for crimes. He developed the techniques of forehead flap Rhinoplasty which is practiced even to this day.

Rhinoplasty can be performed under a general anesthetic or with local anesthetic, d. Incisions are made inside the nostrils (Closed Rhinoplasty) or incision extends to the columella, the skin bridge that separates the nostrils.

The surgeon separates skin cover of the nose from the underlying structures and then reshapes the cartilage or bone, causing the nasal deformity. Sometime in addition, a septoplasty is performed to improve nasal function, with or without cosmetic changes. The cartilage that is removed may be used as a graft to improve the appearance of the nose.

Sometimes a small piece of the patient's own cartilage or bone to added to strengthen or augment the structures of nose. This is done for either cosmetic reasons or to improve breathing and function of the nose.

Sometime, a synthetic implant especially MEDPORE implant, is used to augment or reconstruct the nose. Alternatively, cartilage from the septum or from ear may be used.
