A crooked nose is not only an aesthetic concern but often a functional one that affects breathing, sleep quality, and overall confidence. In cases where nasal deviation is severe, traditional septoplasty or standard rhinoplasty techniques may not provide adequate correction. Extracorporeal Septo Rhinoplasty is an advanced surgical procedure designed specifically to address complex and severe nasal deformities.

Under the expertise of Dr. Jyoshid R. Balan, this specialized technique delivers reliable correction for crooked noses while restoring proper nasal airflow and long-term structural stability.

According to Dr. Jyoshid R. Balan, nose exercises can be supportive but should not be mistaken for medical rhinoplasty or non-surgical treatments.

What Is Augmentation Rhinoplasty?

Augmentation rhinoplasty is a surgical technique used to enhance nasal features by adding structure. It is ideal for individuals with:

• Flat or under-projected nasal bridge
• Weak nasal tip
• Ethnic nasal features lacking definition
• Nasal imbalance affecting facial harmony

The surgeon strategically adds material — most commonly cartilage grafts from the patient — to support and elevate the nasal bridge and refine the nasal tip. The result is a natural, proportionate nose that fits the patient’s unique facial anatomy.

Dr. Jyoshid R. Balan is a highly qualified plastic and cosmetic surgeon based in Thrissur, Kerala, India with extensive experience in rhinoplasty, facial cosmetic surgery, and reconstructive procedures. He combines surgical precision with artistic vision to deliver results that are both functionally sound and aesthetically pleasing.

Recovery Timeline

Understanding the recovery process helps patients prepare mentally and physically:

Patients are advised to avoid strenuous activity, heavy lifting, and nose trauma during early recovery.

Is Augmentation Rhinoplasty Right for You?

You may be a good candidate if you:
✔ Are mentally and physically healthy
✔ Desire greater nasal definition or projection
✔ Have realistic goals
✔ Are prepared for a recovery period
✔ Understand the benefits and limitations

Dr. Jyoshid Balan emphasizes patient education and shared decision-making to ensure expectations are aligned with safe surgical outcomes.

Many people look for natural ways to reshape the nose without surgery. Nose exercises are commonly promoted online as simple techniques to straighten, lift, or slim the nose. While these exercises cannot permanently change bone or cartilage, they may help improve muscle tone, circulation, and temporary appearance when practiced consistently.

According to Dr. Jyoshid R. Balan, nose exercises can be supportive but should not be mistaken for medical rhinoplasty or non-surgical treatments.

Can Nose Exercises Really Change Nose Shape?

The nose is primarily made of bone and cartilage, which cannot be altered by exercise. However, exercises may:

✔ Tone surrounding facial muscles
✔ Reduce puffiness and fluid retention
✔ Improve facial posture awareness
✔ Support healing when advised post-procedure

They do not permanently reduce nose size or correct structural deformities.

• According to Dr. Jyoshid R. Balan:✔ Temporary refinement in appearance
  ✔ Improved muscle tone
  ✔ Reduced puffiness
  ✖ No permanent reshaping
  ✖ No correction of bone/cartilage deviationConsistency is important, but expectations must remain realistic.

• If you are concerned about:
  • Crooked nose
  • Flat nasal bridge
  • Bulbous nasal tip
  • Breathing difficulty
  • Structural asymmetry

  Then medical solutions such as non-surgical rhinoplasty (fillers) or surgical rhinoplasty are the only effective options.

• “Nose exercises may help muscle tone but cannot change the structure of the nose. Patients seeking permanent improvement should consult a qualified plastic surgeon.”
