Feminizing Rhinoplasty in Mumbai
What is Feminizing Rhinoplasty?
Feminizing rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to refine and reshape the nose, making it smaller, softer, and more proportionate to traditionally feminine facial features. It is a key component of facial feminization surgery (FFS) and aims to create a harmonious balance with other facial structures.
Why Choose Feminizing Rhinoplasty?
- Refines nasal structure to achieve a delicate and feminine appearance.
- Balances facial proportions for a more harmonious look.
- Reduces gender dysphoria by aligning facial features with gender identity.
- Enhances self-confidence and comfort in one’s appearance.
Am I Ready for Feminizing Rhinoplasty?
- Are you in good general health and free from medical conditions that could affect healing?
- Have you maintained a stable weight and stopped smoking before surgery?
- Are you at least 18 years old and have fully developed facial bones?
- Do you have realistic expectations about the results?
- Are you prepared for the recovery period and temporary swelling?
- Have you discussed your mental well-being with a professional if needed?
What Happens During Feminizing Rhinoplasty?
- A detailed discussion with your surgeon about the desired nasal shape and overall facial proportions.
- 3D imaging may be used to visualise potential results.
The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia to ensure a pain-free experience.
Feminizing rhinoplasty is highly customised and may include:
- Reducing nasal size – Narrowing the bridge and refining the tip.
- Softening the nasal tip – Making it smaller and more delicate.
- Adjusting the nostrils – Reducing width for a balanced look.
- Smoothing the nasal dorsum – Removing any dorsal hump for a straighter profile.
- The procedure usually takes 2-4 hours, depending on the complexity.
Recovery: Understanding the Healing Process
- Swelling and bruising are common, especially around the eyes.
- A nasal splint is worn for support.
- Most bruising subsides, and the nasal shape starts settling.
- Patients can gradually resume light daily activities.
- Final nasal contours become visible as swelling completely resolves.
- Scar healing and tissue refinement continue over time.
