Rhinoplasty (Nose Surgery)

Rhinoplasty nose reshaping surgery — primary, revision, and functional — performed by a specialist team including Dr. Arjuna Kuperan.

Price on consultation.

Rhinoplasty at My Houston Surgeons benefits from the specialist expertise of Dr. Arjuna Kuperan, a plastic and reconstructive surgeon with a particular focus on rhinoplasty and sinus surgery — a combination of expertise that allows simultaneous functional and aesthetic nasal correction in patients who have both cosmetic concerns and breathing obstruction. Rhinoplasty addresses the external shape of the nose, which is the most anatomically complex facial structure: a framework of nasal bones, upper lateral cartilages, lower lateral (alar) cartilages, and the septal cartilage interact to determine nasal length, bridge height and width, tip projection and rotation, alar width, and columellar show. Common goals for Houston patients include reduction of a prominent dorsal hump (bump on the bridge), refinement of a wide or bulbous nasal tip, reduction of flared alar bases, and correction of asymmetry or deviation. Both open rhinoplasty (a small external incision on the columella for maximum surgical access) and closed rhinoplasty (entirely intra-nasal incisions with no external scar) are performed, with the selection guided by the complexity of changes required. Functional rhinoplasty addresses breathing obstruction from a deviated septum (septoplasty), enlarged turbinates, or internal nasal valve collapse — and may be combinable with aesthetic changes in the same surgical session. Revision rhinoplasty for previously operated noses, which is technically the most demanding rhinoplasty category, is accepted at consultation. Liquid rhinoplasty using hyaluronic acid fillers is offered as a non-surgical option for patients who wish to camouflage a small hump or adjust tip definition without surgery. Recovery from rhinoplasty involves one to two weeks of nasal splinting, with the majority of visible swelling resolving by one month; subtle tip swelling can persist for up to twelve months.
