Rhinoplasty — Nose Reshaping Surgery

Dr. Sam Jejurikar performs rhinoplasty at his North Dallas practice to address cosmetic concerns including dorsal humps, bulbous or drooping nasal tips, crooked bridges, and overall facial asymmetry. Both open and closed surgical approaches are available depending on complexity. Functional breathing concerns such as a deviated septum can often be corrected simultaneously. Crisalix 3D imaging is used during consultations to simulate likely outcomes, and most patients return to desk work within two weeks of surgery.

Rhinoplasty at Dr. Sam Jejurikar's Dallas Plastic Surgery Institute addresses the full spectrum of nasal concerns for patients across the Dallas–Fort Worth area. Dr. Jejurikar, recognised by both D Magazine and Newsweek as one of the country's leading plastic surgeons, applies a highly individualised approach to nasal reshaping — one that takes into account the patient's facial proportions, skin thickness, and personal goals rather than a standardised template. Cosmetic indications treated include prominent dorsal humps along the nasal bridge, poorly defined or bulbous nasal tips, over-projected or drooping tips, nasal asymmetry caused by prior trauma or natural development, and width concerns at the bridge or alar base. Functional concerns — most commonly obstruction caused by a deviated septum or internal valve collapse — can often be combined with aesthetic rhinoplasty, with insurance potentially covering the septoplasty portion. Dr. Jejurikar performs rhinoplasty using either an open approach, in which a small incision at the columella allows full visualisation of the nasal framework, or a closed approach with all incisions inside the nostrils, selected based on the degree of structural modification required. The underlying cartilage and bone are precisely reshaped, reduced, or augmented with autologous cartilage grafts as needed to achieve a durable, natural-looking result. Pre-surgical consultations incorporate the Crisalix 3D imaging system, which generates a three-dimensional simulation of the anticipated surgical outcome. This allows patients and Dr. Jejurikar to review and align on a realistic target before proceeding with surgery. Virtual consultations are available for patients travelling from outside Texas. Recovery progresses along a predictable timeline: a protective cast is typically removed at 5–7 days post-operation, peak swelling resolves over the first two to three weeks, and most patients resume office work within approximately two weeks. Residual subtle swelling at the nasal tip, particularly in open rhinoplasty cases, takes 12–18 months to fully resolve — a normal aspect of nasal surgery healing shared across all rhinoplasty techniques.
