Rhinoplasty: Enhancing Facial Harmony with Dr. Gehaan Dsouza
Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a "nose job," is a sophisticated surgical procedure designed to modify the shape and function of the nose.

Tailored Rhinoplasty Solutions
Dr. Dsouza customizes each rhinoplasty procedure to complement the patient's unique facial profile. The focus is on achieving a balanced, natural result while maintaining or improving breathing function.
Ideal Candidates for Rhinoplasty
- Individuals in good overall health
- Non-smokers
- Those with realistic expectations
- Patients seeking subtle improvements rather than drastic changes
Common Concerns Addressed by Rhinoplasty
- Oversized or elongated nose
- Hump or bump on the nasal bridge
- Breathing difficulties due to structural issues
Rhinoplasty Techniques
Dr. Dsouza performs rhinoplasty under general anesthesia, typically taking 2-3 hours to complete. Two main techniques are employed:
Open Technique
Involves an incision on the columella, offering better visualization of nasal structures. The resulting scar fades quickly and becomes nearly invisible.
Closed Technique
All incisions are made within the nasal passages, eliminating visible scarring.
Recovery and Results
Rhinoplasty requires a moderate recovery period. Patients can expect:
- External nose splint for one week
- Internal nasal splints for five days
- 2-4 weeks before returning to normal activities
- Final results may take up to a year as swelling subsides
