Nose reshaping surgery performed with artistic precision by Dr. Pranav Thusay — delivering natural, harmonious results that enhance your unique facial balance.
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure to reshape, resize or reconstruct the nose for aesthetic or functional improvement. Dr. Pranav Thusay's fellowship training in advanced aesthetic and reconstructive surgery equips him to deliver results that are subtly transformative — enhancing facial harmony while preserving your natural identity.
Both open rhinoplasty (a small incision across the columella) and closed rhinoplasty (all incisions inside the nostrils) are available. The approach is selected based on the complexity of changes required.
Dr. Thusay conducts a thorough facial analysis and discusses your goals. Digital imaging may be used to preview potential outcomes and align expectations.
Blood tests, a health clearance, and cessation of blood thinners 2 weeks before surgery. Detailed written instructions are provided.
Performed under general or local-with-sedation anaesthesia. Cartilage and bone are reshaped through precise incisions. A splint is applied post-surgery to hold the new shape.
Splint stays for 7–10 days. Swelling and bruising around the eyes are normal and subside within 2 weeks. Most patients return to desk work after 10 days.
Tip refinement and final contour become visible at 3–6 months. Full final result is appreciated at 12 months as residual swelling resolves completely.
Rhinoplasty is performed under anaesthesia, so the surgery itself is painless. Post-operatively, you may experience pressure and mild discomfort (not sharp pain) for 3–5 days, which is well managed with prescribed pain relief. Most patients rate it as much less uncomfortable than anticipated.
Dr. Thusay's philosophy is to create harmony, not uniformity. Every surgical plan is personalised to your facial proportions — the goal is always a result that looks like a better version of you, not an operated nose.
You will see the majority of your result at 4–6 weeks. Tip swelling, however, takes 6–12 months to fully resolve. Patience is essential — the nose continues to refine over the first year.
In closed rhinoplasty, all incisions are inside the nostrils — no visible scars at all. In open rhinoplasty, a tiny scar on the columella (between the nostrils) heals to near-invisibility within 3–6 months.
Most patients take 10–14 days off work. Exercise is avoided for 4–6 weeks, and contact sports for 3 months. The splint is removed at day 7–10, after which you can go out in public comfortably.
Yes. When the procedure simultaneously corrects a deviated septum, it is called a septorhinoplasty. This addresses both aesthetics and nasal airway obstruction in a single surgery.
The cost varies by the complexity of the procedure (open vs. closed, revision vs. primary, cartilage grafting required, etc.). Dr. Thusay provides a transparent, itemised quote during your consultation after reviewing your case.
Rhinoplasty is recommended after nasal growth is complete — typically 17–18 for girls and 18–19 for boys. There is no upper age limit provided you are in good general health.
Dr. Thusay will personally analyse your facial proportions and design a surgical plan tailored exclusively to you.
