During a consultation, Dr. Akaash conducts a thorough assessment of the patient's nasal structure, discusses their concerns and desired outcomes, and explains the surgical options available.

A natural-looking nose is one that complements the individual's facial features and appears as though no surgical intervention has occurred. Dr. Akaash focuses on creating balanced proportions and subtle enhancements that align with the patient's unique anatomy, avoiding an overdone or artificial appearance.

Septoplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at correcting a deviated nasal septum—the cartilage and bone that divide the nasal cavity. A deviated septum can cause breathing difficulties, nasal congestion, and contribute to sinus infections. Dr. Akaash performs septoplasty to straighten the septum, improving airflow and nasal function.

Not all rhinoplasty procedures require osteotomies (breaking of the nasal bones). The necessity for this step depends on the specific goals of the surgery, such as narrowing a wide nasal bridge or correcting significant asymmetries. Dr. Akaash evaluates each case individually to determine the appropriate techniques needed to achieve the desired outcome.

In some cases, combining rhinoplasty with a chin implant can enhance facial harmony and balance. Dr. Akaash assesses the patient's facial proportions and may recommend this combination if it will contribute to a more aesthetically pleasing result. The decision is made collaboratively, considering the patient's goals and anatomical considerations.

Dr. Akaash discusses these risks in detail during the consultation and employs meticulous surgical techniques to minimize complications. He also provides comprehensive post-operative care instructions to support optimal healing.

The choice between open and closed rhinoplasty depends on the specific goals and complexity of the surgery. Open rhinoplasty involves a small external incision and provides greater visibility for complex reshaping, while closed rhinoplasty involves incisions within the nostrils and is suitable for less extensive modifications. Dr. Akaash determines the most appropriate approach based on the patient's individual needs.

Rhinoplasty is typically performed under general anesthesia, ensuring patient comfort and safety throughout the procedure. In some cases, local anesthesia with sedation may be an option, depending on the extent of the surgery and patient preference.

Yes, nasal tip refinement is a common component of rhinoplasty. Dr. Akaash can address concerns such as a bulbous, drooping, or asymmetrical nasal tip, enhancing its shape and proportion to achieve a more balanced appearance.

A drooping nasal tip can be corrected through specific surgical techniques that lift and support the tip, creating a more youthful and harmonious nasal contour. Dr. Akaash evaluates the underlying causes of the droop and tailors the surgical approach accordingly.

Dr. Akaash prioritizes both the aesthetic and functional aspects of rhinoplasty. He employs techniques that preserve or enhance nasal airflow, ensuring that patients experience improved or maintained breathing function following surgery.
