Rhinoplasty (Nose Surgery)
Refining Balance,
Harmony, and
Confident Self-Expression
The nose sits at the center of the face—not to draw attention, but to create balance. Whether due to natural anatomy, aging, or prior injury, the shape or function of the nose may feel out of alignment with how you see yourself or how you wish to be seen.
Rhinoplasty is a highly individualized procedure that refines proportion, supports nasal function, and restores harmony while preserving your identity. The goal is not transformation, but alignment—helping your features work together naturally and authentically.
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes the nose to improve appearance, function, or both. It may involve refining bone, cartilage, or soft tissue to enhance balance, improve airflow, and create a nose that fits seamlessly with your facial features.
Rhinoplasty can be performed for cosmetic reasons, functional concerns such as breathing difficulty, or a combination of both.
During your consultation, Dr. Kapadia will perform a detailed evaluation of your nasal structure and facial anatomy.
This includes assessment of nasal shape, cartilage strength, skin thickness, airway function, and any history of injury or breathing concerns. Digital imaging and
photographic analysis are reviewed to ensure clarity and alignment between your goals and the surgical plan.
Both aesthetic and functional considerations are discussed to create a thoughtful, individualized approach.
You may be a good candidate for
rhinoplasty if you:
- Are bothered by the appearance of your nose in profile or photos
- Have a dorsal hump, flat bridge, or asymmetry
- Feel your nose is out of proportion with your facial features
- Experience breathing difficulty due to septal deviation or internal valve collapse
- Are in good overall health
- Desire natural, balanced refinement
Many patients share that their nose draws attention away from
Their natural harmony. Rhinoplasty is often a step toward restoring balance and quiet confidence.
Reduction rhinoplasty may address:
A dorsal hump or high nasal bridge
Excess width or projection
Tip drooping or lack of definition
Asymmetry from development or injury
Disproportion relative to other facial features
Augmentation rhinoplasty may address:
A low or flat nasal bridge
Poor dorsal aesthetic lines
A short or wide nose
Saddle nose deformity from prior surgery or injury
Structural weakness affecting shape or airflow
The goal in both approaches is a nose that feels authentically yours
enhancing your natural features rather than replacing them.
Rhinoplasty is typically performed as an outpatient procedure.
Augmentation rhinoplasty may address:
Open rhinoplasty, with a small incision across the columella
Closed rhinoplasty, with all incisions placed inside the nostrils
Surgery may involve reshaping bone and cartilage, refining the nasal tip, correcting septal deviation, supporting nasal valves, or placing cartilage grafts when needed for structure and airflow.
The specific techniques used are based entirely on anatomy and surgical goals.
Recovery from rhinoplasty is gradual. Swelling, congestion, and bruising improve progressively as healing occurs.
Patients typically return to light daily activities relatively quickly, with a gradual return to normal routines as comfort
Allows. Nasal shape continues to refine over time, particularly in the tip, as swelling resolves and tissues settle.
We support recovery with wellness-focused guidance, including hydration, gentle care, and calming practices.
The cost of rhinoplasty varies depending on the complexity of surgery and whether functional correction is performed alongside cosmetic refinement.
Pricing and insurance considerations are reviewed during consultation.
Before and After
Results are subtle and natural, with improved smoothness and facial balance. Ongoing treatments can help maintain results over time.
Before-and-after photos may be reviewed during your consultation to help set realistic expectations.
Rhinoplasty requires technical precision, restraint, and a deep understanding of facial and nasal anatomy. Dr. Kapadia’s approach emphasizes structural support, natural proportions, and long-term harmony—both aesthetically and functionally.
Each surgical plan is tailored to the individual, with careful attention to preserving identity while enhancing balance.
