Rhinoplasty

Dr Rohit Kumar FRACS (Plas) performs rhinoplasty in Sydney to address cosmetic and functional nasal concerns. Procedures include reduction of dorsal humps, tip refinement, correction of nasal asymmetry, and combined functional-aesthetic surgery where a deviated septum is corrected alongside cosmetic reshaping. Surgery is performed at Westmead Private Hospital. Rhinoplasty is a confirmed offering confirmed through third-party specialist profiles for the Sydney Cosmetic Sanctuary practice.

Rhinoplasty at Sydney Cosmetic Sanctuary, led by Dr Rohit Kumar FRACS (Plas) in Sydney, NSW, addresses both cosmetic concerns and functional impairments of the nose, with surgery performed at Westmead Private Hospital in Western Sydney. Rhinoplasty is among the most technically demanding procedures in plastic surgery — small millimetre-scale changes to cartilage, bone, and soft tissue produce proportionally large changes in facial harmony, and the nose's central position on the face means that both under-correction and over-correction are immediately visible. Dr Kumar's training as an FRACS (Plastics) provides the anatomical and surgical foundation for working with both the external nasal framework and the internal structures governing nasal airflow. Cosmetic rhinoplasty addresses the concerns most commonly brought by patients: a dorsal hump (the bony or cartilaginous prominence visible in profile), a wide, ill-defined, or bulbous nasal tip, nasal asymmetry from prior trauma or developmental variation, a nasal bridge that appears too wide when viewed from the front, or proportional mismatch between the nose and other facial features. Dorsal hump reduction combines rasping of the bony component with trim of the upper lateral cartilages, followed by infracture osteotomies of the nasal bones to close the open roof and narrow the bony dorsum. Tip refinement uses a combination of suture techniques — interdomal and transdomal sutures to refine tip projection and definition — and conservative cartilage excision or grafting to achieve the desired tip shape and rotation. Functional rhinoplasty corrects internal structural problems that impair nasal breathing: septoplasty straightens the nasal septum when deviated from the midline, inferior turbinate reduction addresses mucosal hypertrophy obstructing the nasal airway, and spreader grafts widen a collapsed internal nasal valve. Functional components typically attract Medicare rebates when the impairment is documented. In patients with both cosmetic and functional concerns, the procedures are combined in a single operative session. All rhinoplasty patients at this Sydney practice receive detailed pre-operative photography and surgical planning, with post-operative follow-up at the Leichhardt or Westmead consulting rooms.
