Rhinoplasty, inside and out
The nose is the one facial feature that has to work as well as look right. Trained first in ENT, Dr Prateek Sharma treats breathing and appearance as one problem, not two.
A great many rhinoplasty disappointments are not about shape. They are about a nose that looks better and breathes worse. That happens when the airway is treated as somebody else's department.
Why ENT training matters here
Dr Prateek Sharma holds an MS in ENT from AIIMS New Delhi, alongside an MBBS from MAMC New Delhi and a Commonwealth Fellowship in facial plastic surgery in the United Kingdom. The septum, the turbinates and the valves are not an afterthought in that training; they are where it begins.
In practice this means the assessment covers how you breathe as carefully as how the nose looks, and a deviated septum or a narrow valve is addressed in the same operation rather than left for later.
What is considered
- Cosmetic rhinoplasty, for the dorsal profile, the tip, width or asymmetry.
- Septorhinoplasty, where a deviated septum is corrected alongside the external shape.
- Functional concerns, where obstruction, collapse or previous injury affect breathing.
- Revision cases, which are more complex and assessed individually.
A nose that suits your face
The aim is not a nose borrowed from a photograph. Ethnic and structural characteristics differ, and a result that ignores the rest of the face reads as obviously done. What is realistic for your nose, your skin and your breathing is a conversation in person.
Rhinoplasty, answered
How much does rhinoplasty cost in Delhi?+
Cost depends on whether the surgery is cosmetic, functional or both, whether it is a revision case, and on the accredited facility and anaesthesia team. An accurate figure can only follow an in-person assessment.
Can rhinoplasty fix breathing problems?+
Yes, when the cause is structural, such as a deviated septum or a collapsing nasal valve. Dr Prateek Sharma is trained in ENT surgery with an MS from AIIMS New Delhi, so the airway is assessed alongside the appearance rather than separately.
What is the difference between rhinoplasty and septorhinoplasty?+
Rhinoplasty addresses the external shape of the nose. Septorhinoplasty corrects a deviated septum at the same time, so both appearance and breathing are treated in one operation.
