Rhinoplasty, also known as nose reshaping surgery, is performed by Dr. K.O. Paulose at Jubilee Hospital in Trivandrum, India. The surgery can be done through an open or closed technique depending on where incisions are made. Rhinoplasty aims to modify the size and shape of the nose to improve aesthetics. Recovery may involve pain, swelling, and nasal issues but complications are rare if the surgery is performed by an experienced surgeon. Rhinoplasty can produce natural-looking results that satisfy both the patient and surgeon.
