The nose sits at the centre of your face—literally and figuratively defining your entire appearance. A slight asymmetry, a pronounced hump, or a drooping tip can overshadow your other features, whilst a well-proportioned nose brings harmony and balance to your entire facial profile. In 2026, rhinoplasty has evolved dramatically, offering results that were impossible just a decade ago.
Across Gurgaon and Delhi NCR—from the sophisticated neighbourhoods of DLF Phase 5 to the elegant homes of Vasant Vihar, from Golf Course Road executives to Greater Kailash families—men and women are discovering how modern rhinoplasty can transform their appearance whilst maintaining natural, ethnic features that honour their heritage.
Dr. Pradeep Kumar Singh, Head of Plastic Surgery at Artemis Hospital, Sector 51, Gurgaon, brings over 17 years of experience and a Fellowship in Advanced Aesthetic Surgery from St Louis Hospital, Paris, to every rhinoplasty procedure. Dr. Pradeep Kumar Singh combines artistic vision with surgical precision, delivering noses that look naturally beautiful—never obviously operated.

What Is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty, commonly called a nose job, is a surgical procedure that reshapes the nose for aesthetic improvement or functional correction. Whether you wish to refine a bulbous tip, straighten a crooked nose, reduce a dorsal hump, or improve breathing difficulties, rhinoplasty addresses both cosmetic and medical concerns.
Cosmetic Rhinoplasty
Focuses on improving the nose’s appearance to achieve better facial harmony. Common goals include:
• Reducing overall nose size for better facial proportion
• Removing a dorsal hump for a smoother profile
• Refining a bulbous or wide nasal tip
• Straightening a crooked or deviated nose
• Narrowing wide nostrils through alarplasty
• Correcting asymmetry for a balanced appearance
Functional Rhinoplasty
Addresses breathing problems caused by structural abnormalities. Dr. Pradeep Kumar Singh frequently combines cosmetic improvements with functional corrections, including:
• Deviated septum correction (septoplasty)
• Nasal valve collapse repair
• Turbinate reduction for improved airflow
Patients from Sushant Lok, Defence Colony, and Magnolias appreciate that a single procedure can enhance both appearance and breathing function.
Rhinoplasty Trends Shaping 2026
The world of rhinoplasty continues evolving. Here are the defining trends Dr. Pradeep Kumar Singh sees at Artemis Hospital in 2026:
Natural Results Over Dramatic Changes
Gone are the days of the obvious, pinched-nose job. In 2026, patients from DLF Camelia, Haus Khas, and Chanakyapuri request subtle refinements that enhance their natural features rather than transform them entirely. The goal is a nose that looks like you were simply born with better proportions.
Ethnic Rhinoplasty and Preservation of Heritage
Indian patients no longer desire Westernised noses. Modern ethnic rhinoplasty respects and preserves cultural features whilst addressing specific concerns. Dr. Pradeep Kumar Singh understands Indian nasal anatomy—thicker skin, different cartilage structure, unique aesthetic ideals—and tailors each procedure accordingly.
Preservation Rhinoplasty Techniques
This revolutionary approach preserves the nose’s natural structural framework rather than breaking and rebuilding it. Benefits include faster recovery, less swelling, more predictable results, and reduced risk of long-term complications. Patients from Ardee City, Jor Bagh, and Green Park increasingly request this advanced technique.
3D Imaging and Virtual Planning
Advanced computer imaging allows patients to visualise potential results before surgery. Dr. Pradeep Kumar Singh uses this technology during consultations, helping patients from Golf Course Extension, Vasant Kunj, and Sector 57 understand realistic outcomes and make informed decisions.

Rhinoplasty Techniques: Open vs Closed
Dr. Pradeep Kumar Singh selects the optimal surgical approach based on each patient’s anatomy and goals.
Open Rhinoplasty
Approach: A small incision across the columella (the tissue between the nostrils) allows the skin to be lifted, providing full visibility of nasal structures.
Best For: Complex cases requiring significant reshaping, revision rhinoplasty, or extensive tip work
Advantages: Maximum visibility and precision, ideal for intricate modifications
Considerations: Small external scar (fades significantly), slightly longer recovery
Closed Rhinoplasty
Approach: All incisions are made inside the nostrils, leaving no visible external scars.
Best For: Minor refinements, hump reduction, straightforward tip modifications
Advantages: No visible scarring, faster recovery, less swelling
Considerations: Limited visibility may not suit complex cases
Women and men from Palam Vihar, Anand Niketan, and M3M Golf Estate trust Dr. Pradeep Kumar Singh to recommend the technique best suited to their specific needs.
The Rhinoplasty Journey at Artemis Hospital
Your Consultation
Every transformation begins with a detailed consultation. Dr. Pradeep Kumar Singh examines your nose from multiple angles, discusses your concerns and goals, reviews your medical history, and uses imaging technology to demonstrate potential outcomes. You will leave understanding exactly what rhinoplasty can achieve for your unique face.
Preparing for Surgery
• Complete required blood tests and medical evaluations
• Stop smoking at least four weeks before surgery
• Avoid aspirin, anti-inflammatory medications, and blood-thinning supplements
• Arrange transportation home and assistance for the first few days
The Procedure
Duration: 1.5-3 hours, depending on complexity
Anaesthesia: General anaesthesia for patient comfort
Setting: Artemis Hospital’s international-standard operating theatres
Hospital Stay: Most patients return home the same day
Recovery Timeline
Days 1-7: Nasal splint in place. Swelling and bruising around the eyes are normal. Rest with head elevated. Patients from Shanti Niketan, Gulmohar Park, and Sector 42 typically take one week off work.
Week 2: Splint removed. Most bruising fades. Return to desk work and light activities.
Weeks 3-4: Swelling continues to decrease. Social activities resume. Glasses may be worn with caution.
Months 3-6: Significant swelling resolves. Nasal shape refines progressively.
Month 12 onwards: Final results visible as all subtle swelling resolves, particularly at the tip.
Am I a Good Candidate for Rhinoplasty?
Dr. Pradeep Kumar Singh evaluates each patient individually. Ideal rhinoplasty candidates typically:
• Have completed facial growth (usually age 18 or older)
• Are in good overall health without conditions that impair healing
• Do not smoke or are willing to quit before and after surgery
• Have realistic expectations about achievable results
• Desire changes for personal reasons, not external pressure
Both men and women from Nirvana Country, South Extension, and Gold Links seek rhinoplasty. The procedure is equally popular amongst professionals wanting enhanced confidence and individuals correcting breathing difficulties.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: How long do rhinoplasty results last?
Rhinoplasty results are permanent. Once your nose has healed completely—typically by 12-18 months—the shape remains stable for life. Natural ageing may cause minor changes over decades, but your surgical improvements endure.
Q2: Will rhinoplasty leave visible scars?
Closed rhinoplasty leaves no visible scars as all incisions are inside the nostrils. Open rhinoplasty creates a small incision across the columella, which fades to a nearly invisible line within a few months. Dr. Pradeep Kumar Singh uses meticulous closure techniques to minimise scarring.
Q3: Can rhinoplasty fix my breathing problems?
Yes. Functional rhinoplasty addresses structural issues, including deviated septum, nasal valve collapse, and enlarged turbinates, that impair breathing. Dr. Pradeep Kumar Singh frequently combines cosmetic improvements with functional corrections in a single procedure.
Q4: How painful is rhinoplasty recovery?
Most patients describe discomfort rather than severe pain. Congestion, pressure, and mild headaches are common during the first week. Prescribed pain medication manages discomfort effectively. By week two, most patients require only over-the-counter pain relief.
Q5: When can I return to work after rhinoplasty?
Most patients return to desk work within 7-10 days, once the splint is removed and bruising has faded. Physically demanding jobs may require 2-3 weeks. Dr. Pradeep Kumar Singh provides personalised guidance based on your specific recovery progress.
Q6: What if I am unhappy with my rhinoplasty results?
Revision rhinoplasty can address concerns if initial results do not meet expectations. However, choosing an experienced surgeon like Dr. Pradeep Kumar Singh significantly reduces this likelihood. Patience is essential—final results take 12-18 months to fully emerge.
