Dr. Kriya Gishen is a Beverly Hills rhinoplasty specialist whose Ivy League training, UCLA craniofacial fellowship, and fine arts background as a sculptor give her an unmatched ability to reshape the nose with both surgical precision and artistic vision. Whether you are seeking cosmetic refinement, improved breathing, or post-trauma reconstruction, Dr. Kriya delivers natural, functional, and aesthetically beautiful results tailored to your unique facial anatomy.
The nose is the central feature of the face, and even the most subtle changes can have a dramatic effect on overall facial harmony. Dr. Kriya spent the majority of her specialty training focused on rhinoplasty, studying with some of the top rhinoplasty surgeons in the world. She understands just how life-altering this procedure can be for her patients.
What Is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a "nose job," is a surgical procedure that reshapes the nose to improve its appearance, function, or both. The surgery can address a wide range of concerns including a prominent dorsal hump, a wide or bulbous tip, asymmetry, a crooked nose, or breathing difficulties caused by a deviated septum. Rhinoplasty in Beverly Hills is one of the most commonly requested facial plastic surgery procedures, and choosing an experienced, fellowship-trained surgeon is essential for optimal results.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Rhinoplasty?
Ideal candidates for rhinoplasty include individuals who:
- Are unhappy with the size, shape, or proportion of their nose relative to their other facial features
- Have a dorsal hump, wide bridge, bulbous or drooping tip, or nasal asymmetry
- Experience breathing difficulty due to a deviated septum or other structural issues
- Have sustained nasal trauma requiring reconstructive rhinoplasty
- Are in good overall health with realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
During your consultation, Dr. Kriya will carefully evaluate your nasal structure, skin quality, and facial proportions to develop a personalized surgical plan aligned with your goals.
Dr. Kriya's Approach to Rhinoplasty
As a trained sculptor, Dr. Kriya understands the interplay between light and shape. She approaches each rhinoplasty with expertise in surgical contouring, focusing not only on the ideal proportions of the nose itself but constructing the nose in relation to the rest of the face so that every result is unique and appropriate for the patient's facial structure and desires.
Her UCLA craniofacial fellowship provided advanced training in nasal bone and cartilage surgery, giving her a deep understanding of the complex anatomy involved. This expertise is especially valuable for revision rhinoplasty and cases involving significant structural changes.
Rhinoplasty can be performed using two techniques:
- Open Rhinoplasty: A small incision is placed on the outside of the nose between the nostrils. This incision is positioned to be essentially imperceptible once healed and provides excellent surgical visibility.
- Closed Rhinoplasty: Incisions are placed entirely inside the nostrils, leaving no visible external scarring.
The technique used by Dr. Kriya is patient-specific, selected based on the complexity of the case and the changes desired. She also performs functional rhinoplasty for patients with a deviated septum or breathing difficulties, and reconstructive rhinoplasty for patients recovering from nasal trauma.
What to Expect: Rhinoplasty Recovery
Understanding the recovery process is an important part of planning your rhinoplasty. Here is a general timeline:
- First Week: A nasal splint is worn to protect the nose. Swelling and bruising around the eyes are common. Most patients take one to two weeks off work. Pain is typically mild to moderate and well-controlled with medication.
- Weeks 2 to 4: The splint is removed and most visible bruising resolves. Swelling begins to decrease noticeably, though the tip may remain mildly swollen.
- Months 1 to 3: The majority of swelling subsides and patients can resume full physical activity. The nose continues to refine in shape.
- 6 to 12 Months: Final results become fully apparent as residual swelling in the nasal tip resolves completely.
Dr. Kriya provides detailed post-operative instructions and schedules regular follow-up appointments to monitor your healing progress. Her attentive aftercare ensures the best possible outcome.
