Types of Rhinoplasty

Functional Rhinoplasty

Functional rhinoplasty is performed to address structural problems of the nose that may affect breathing or nasal function. These may include:

Breathing difficulties caused by obstructed nasal airways
Nasal deformities resulting from injury or trauma
Certain congenital nasal deformities that may require individualized reconstructive treatment

Functional rhinoplasty may involve modifying the nasal bones, cartilage, septum, or other nasal structures to improve nasal function while maintaining or improving the external appearance of the nose.

Cosmetic or Aesthetic Rhinoplasty

A large number of rhinoplasty procedures are performed to make the nose look more aesthetically pleasing by ensuring that it suits or complements other facial features. This may include changing the shape, size, projection, or structure of the nose. Aesthetic surgery of the nose is highly personalized and is planned according to the patient's nasal anatomy, facial proportions, and desired outcome. Nowadays, some patients may request trend-based nasal shapes such as a “Barbie Nose.” However, the surgical approach is customized to each patient rather than following a standard nose shape. Cosmetic rhinoplasty is performed for both men and women who wish to address concerns about the appearance or proportion of their nose.

Turbinates reduction or dysfunction correction

A stuffy or blocked nose can occur when the turbinates become enlarged and contribute to nasal obstruction. This may make nasal breathing difficult and, in some cases, lead to mouth breathing or ongoing nasal discomfort. Enlarged turbinates may be associated with conditions such as allergies or other causes of nasal inflammation. Turbinate reduction may be considered to reduce excess tissue and improve nasal airflow when appropriate.

Projection Adjustment Rhinoplasty

Along with the shape & size of the nose, its projection also plays a crucial role to make it look aesthetically pleasing. So, this type of rhinoplasty is either done to reduce the projection of the nose by trimming the cartilage or to increase projection by adding cartilage.

Osteotomy or repairing Nasal fractures

Osteotomy is a procedure where the nasal bone is cut to modify its alignment. It is performed to straighten the nasal pyramid which leads to an effective way of breathing.

Septoplasty or Correcting a Deviated Septum

As the name suggests, this is a type of rhinoplasty which is done to correct a deviated septum. A deviated septum can contribute to nasal obstruction and breathing difficulties. When symptoms are significant and do not improve with appropriate medical management, septoplasty may be considered to correct the structural deviation.

Tip Rotation and Reduction

This is a type of rhinoplasty which is performed to reshape the tip of the nose by modifying the cartilage. It is mainly done when the nose lacks rotation and this is corrected by paying special attention to the base of the nose.

Alarplasty or Nasal Width Reduction

An Alarplasty is performed by the doctor to reduce the width of the nasal base thereby making the angles of this triangle steeper and making the nostrils meet the face. This is more popular amongst women.

Ethnic Rhinoplasty

The shape of the nose also varies as per one’s ethnicity. So, many times when a person opts for rhinoplasty, he/she still wants to retain the unique characteristics of their nose. Ethnic rhinoplasty helps to change the shape of the nose to improve the facial appearance. This is a very popular treatment among those individuals whose ethnic facial features include a broad nose mainly including people from African, Asian, Hispanic or Middle Eastern descent.
