Rhinoplasty Surgery
About Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, is a surgical procedure that reshapes the nose to enhance both its appearance and function. Whether you’re looking to improve facial balance or correct breathing issues, rhinoplasty can offer life-changing results and a boost in self-confidence.
At Rootland Super Speciality Cosmetic Clinic, Dr. Stevenson—one of Hyderabad’s top rhinoplasty surgeons—combines surgical precision with an artistic eye to ensure that your nose harmonizes perfectly with your facial features. His meticulous approach and ability to tailor techniques to each patient’s needs make him a trusted expert, especially for revision (secondary) rhinoplasty, which corrects unsatisfactory results from previous procedures.
types of Rhinoplasty
Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty
This non-invasive option uses injectable fillers like collagen or hyaluronic acid to temporarily reshape the nose. It’s ideal for patients unfit for surgery or seeking minor aesthetic changes.
• Duration: Results typically last 8–12 months.
• Note: This is not a permanent solution.
Surgical Rhinoplasty
This is a permanent procedure involving structural changes to the nasal bone, cartilage, and skin to enhance appearance or function.
It can address:
• A crooked or wide nose.
• A dorsal hump or bridge depression.
• A bulbous, drooping, or misaligned nasal tip.
• Breathing problems (deviated septum, snoring, nasal trauma).
• Nasal injuries from accidents or sports.
A personalized surgical plan is created after a detailed consultation, examining the patient’s medical history, goals, and nasal structure. Ideal candidates are in good health with realistic expectations.
Rhinoplasty Procedure
Performed under general anesthesia, rhinoplasty usually takes 3–4 hours in a hospital or outpatient setting.
Key steps include:
• Incisions inside the nostrils or between them
• Reshaping nasal bones and cartilage
• Grafting tissue from the ear, nose, or using bone if necessary
Some may opt for cartilage grafts or tip remodeling to enhance shape. While silicone implants are used by some, they carry a higher risk of infection.
Remember: A misshapen nose can impact both aesthetics and self-image. Rhinoplasty is the only effective solution to permanently correct structural issues.

additional procedures offered !
Septoplasty (Tip Rotation & Reduction)
Corrects a deviated nasal septum caused by trauma, improving nasal structure and breathing.
Alarplasty (Nasal Width Reduction)
Reduces the width of the nasal base and reshapes the nostrils, enhancing facial proportion.
Recovery Guidelines
• Outpatient procedure with intranasal and external splints
• Nose patch worn post-op, changed regularly
• Resume light sports in 2–3 weeks; heavy activities after 1 month

Potential Risks of Rhinoplasty
As with any surgery, rhinoplasty carries some risks, including:
• Reaction to anesthesia
• Temporary bleeding or bruising
• Infection
• Asymmetry or unsatisfactory results
However, these are rare when the procedure is performed by a board-certified maxillofacial surgeon like Dr. Stevenson.
Ultrasonic (Piezotome) Rhinoplasty
Dr. Stevenson uses advanced PIEZOTOME technology for enhanced precision and safety. Unlike traditional instruments (rasps or osteotomes), this tool:
• Reduces trauma to surrounding tissues
• Allows for cleaner bone cuts
• Corrects asymmetry and deformities with greater control
Thinking About Rhinoplasty?
Book a consultation with Dr. Stevenson, one of Hyderabad’s most respected maxillofacial surgeons. During your visit, he will:
• Assess your nasal structure and facial balance

In some cases, a revision rhinoplasty may be needed, but only after the nose has completely healed—usually after 12 months.
