What Is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a "nose job," is a surgical procedure that reshapes or reconstructs the nose. It can be performed for cosmetic reasons to improve the appearance of the nose, or for functional reasons to correct breathing difficulties caused by structural problems.
Prof. Dr. Irshad Malik performs rhinoplasty procedures that address both the aesthetic and functional aspects of the nose. Whether you need correction of a deviated septum affecting your breathing, or cosmetic reshaping to improve your nasal profile, the procedure is tailored to your individual needs.
As a Professor-level ENT surgeon with over 20 years of experience, Prof. Dr. Irshad Malik combines deep knowledge of nasal anatomy with surgical precision to deliver natural-looking results that also optimize nasal function.

How Rhinoplasty Is Performed — Step by Step
Initial Consultation
Prof. Dr. Irshad Malik examines your nose, discusses your aesthetic goals and functional concerns, and explains the surgical plan. Photographs and measurements are taken.
Pre-Operative Preparation
Blood tests and medical clearance are completed. You receive instructions on medication adjustments and fasting before surgery.
Anaesthesia & Incision
Under general anaesthesia, incisions are made inside the nose (closed rhinoplasty) or across the columella (open rhinoplasty), depending on the complexity of your case.
Reshaping & Reconstruction
The nasal bone and cartilage are carefully reshaped to achieve the desired profile and function. Septal correction is performed if needed for improved breathing.
Closure & Splinting
Incisions are closed with fine sutures. An external splint is placed to support the new shape. Internal nasal packing may be used for 24-48 hours.
Recovery & Follow-Up
Splint is removed after 7-10 days. Regular follow-up visits monitor healing. Final results become fully apparent over 6-12 months as swelling resolves.
