A good rhinoplasty is decided in the consultation room, not the operating theatre. This page walks you through exactly what happens when you sit down with Dr. Milan Doshi — what he examines, what to bring and ask, how our nose simulator works (and what it can’t promise), and how to prepare once you decide to go ahead.
What Happens in Your Consultation, Step by Step
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1 · You talk first | Dr. Doshi asks what the first thing your eye goes to is when you look in the mirror — your concern, in your words |
| 2 · A narrated examination | He examines your nose layer by layer — skin, cartilage framework, tip support, breathing — and explains out loud what he finds. Most patients learn something new about their own nose in these ten minutes |
| 3 · The plan — starting with what will NOT change | Before discussing any correction, he tells you which features of your nose are good and will be preserved. What remains is the actual surgical plan |
| 4 · Honest counsel | Every consultation includes at least one honest limitation — what your result can and cannot be. If surgery isn’t right for you (or isn’t right yet), he will say so |
| 5 · Your written plan & quote | A clear plan and a transparent, all-inclusive written figure — never a phone estimate |
Facial Analysis — What We Assess
| What we assess | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Skin thickness | Decides how much definition will actually show |
| Tip support & cartilage strength | What your framework allows |
| Bridge height & width, nostril symmetry | The visible proportions of the nose |
| Your breathing — septum & internal valves | Cosmetic change must protect function |
| Chin & facial balance | A small chin can make a nose look bigger than it is |
| Your photographs | The angles that bother you most |
Choosing Your Surgeon — Ask These Questions Anywhere You Go
| # | Question to ask | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Are you a plastic surgeon with a super-specialty qualification (M.Ch)? How many rhinoplasties have you performed? | Training and volume drive results in nose surgery |
| 2 | Will YOU perform my entire surgery — or an assistant? | The name on the door isn’t always the hands on the nose |
| 3 | Can I see before-and-after photos of noses like mine? | Matched cases show what’s realistic for your anatomy |
| 4 | How do you balance cosmetic change with protecting my breathing? | A pretty nose that can’t breathe is a failed surgery |
| 5 | What is your revision policy — and your revision rate? | Honest surgeons discuss this openly |
What to Bring
- Photos of your nose from the angles that bother you (and any ‘goal’ photos — we’ll discuss honestly what’s achievable)
- Your medical history: medications, supplements, allergies, previous nose injuries or surgery
- Any past ENT evaluation, if you have breathing issues
- Your questions, written down — consultations go fast
- A family member, if their opinion matters to your decision. We welcome them
Your Plan, Your Quote — In Writing
Before you leave, our patient-care counsellor gives you the complete picture in writing: your surgical plan in plain words, an all-inclusive figure (surgeon, anaesthesia, OT, hospital stay, follow-ups — nothing added later), EMI options if you want them, and available surgery dates.
Booked? How to Prepare for Surgery Day
| When | What to do |
|---|---|
| 2–4 weeks before | Stop smoking and vaping completely — it slows healing. Tell us every medicine and supplement you take |
| 1 week before | Pause blood-thinning medicines or supplements ONLY as advised by Dr. Doshi. Arrange your week off work |
| Night before | Fast as instructed by the team. Wash your face; no creams or makeup. Pack button-front shirts |
| Surgery day | Arrive with your attendant; leave jewellery at home. Most patients go home the next day |
Can't Visit Mumbai? Online & Outstation Consultations
A large share of our rhinoplasty patients come from outside Mumbai and abroad. Start with a video consultation: share your photos, get Dr. Doshi’s assessment and a provisional plan, and travel only when you’re ready — with surgery and follow-up scheduled around your trip. Most outstation patients fly back 5–7 days after surgery. See our outstation patients guide.
Frequently Asked Questions About Your Consultation
Is there a consultation fee?
Yes — ₹1,500, which includes Dr. Doshi’s full facial analysis and your written plan, and is adjusted against your surgery if you go ahead.
Can I get an opinion online before travelling?
Yes. Start with a video consultation and photo assessment — you’ll have Dr. Doshi’s view and a provisional plan before you book any travel.
Will the simulator show my exact result?
No — it shows the direction of change, not a promise. Your real plan comes from Dr. Doshi’s examination and from before-and-after photos of patients whose noses resembled yours.
Do I have to decide on the day?
No. You leave with a written quote and your preferred dates held for 7 days. We follow up once — there is no pressure to book in the room.
