Start With Your Problem
What Brings You In?
Pick what bothers you most to see what it could be and what usually helps.
My nose is always blocked
Sounds familiar?
- One side blocked most of the time
- Mouth breathing or snoring
- Sprays help only for a while
What usually helps
Often a deviated septum, swollen turbinates or narrow nasal valves. Many cases settle with medicine; a structural cause may need septoplasty or functional rhinoplasty.
Nasal blockage treatmentDeviated septumWhy is my nose always blocked?
I want to change how my nose looks
Sounds familiar?
- A hump on the bridge
- A wide, round or drooping tip
- A nose bent after an injury
What usually helps
Rhinoplasty refines the shape while protecting the airway. If breathing is also a problem, septorhinoplasty corrects both in one operation.

My sinuses never settle
Sounds familiar?
- Facial pressure or headache
- Thick discharge or post-nasal drip
- Reduced sense of smell
What usually helps
Usually treated with medicines first. Persistent cases are checked with an endoscope and sometimes a scan; selected cases benefit from endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS).
Ear, throat or neck problem
Sounds familiar?
- Ear pain, discharge or blocked ears
- Hearing or voice changes
- Repeated throat or tonsil infections
What usually helps
Everyday ENT care for adults and children: examination first, medicine in most cases, and surgery only when it clearly helps, such as for tonsils, thyroid or voice problems.

Why an ENT Surgeon
A Nose That Looks Better Should Breathe Better Too
Making a nose smaller or narrower without respecting its inner support can make it look better but breathe worse. As an ENT surgeon, Dr Manali Kakadia checks the septum, turbinates and nasal valves at every rhinoplasty consultation, usually with a nasal endoscope.
If something inside is narrowing your airway, it can be corrected in the same operation. Read more about Dr Manali Kakadia.

Frequently Asked Questions
ENT and Rhinoplasty Care in Gujarat – FAQs
Where can I consult Dr Manali Kakadia in Gujarat?
At her main clinic in Rajkot (10 Sardarnagar, Dr Homi Dastur Road, near Astron Chowk), at three hospitals in Ahmedabad (Civil Hospital Asarwa, V.S. Hospital Ellisbridge and L.G. Hospital Maninagar), and at civil hospitals across Kutch. Call or WhatsApp +91 98242 93935 to confirm the venue and day.
I live elsewhere in Gujarat. Which location should I visit?
Patients from Saurashtra usually find Rajkot easiest. Patients from Kutch can be seen at civil hospitals across Kutch; please contact the team before visiting. Patients from Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, North and Central Gujarat can use the Ahmedabad hospitals. You can also send your concern and photos on WhatsApp first to plan the visit.
Is Dr Manali Kakadia an ENT doctor or a rhinoplasty surgeon?
Both. She is an ENT surgeon who also performs rhinoplasty, so the inside of the nose (septum, turbinates and nasal valves) and its outer shape are assessed together. She also treats ear, throat, sinus, thyroid and other ENT conditions.
How much does rhinoplasty cost in Gujarat?
There is no single fixed price. Cost depends on whether the surgery is cosmetic, functional or combined, whether the septum or valves need correction, the need for cartilage grafts, revision surgery, the hospital and anaesthesia. A clear estimate is given after consultation.
Can rhinoplasty improve breathing as well as shape?
Yes, when the breathing problem has a structural cause. Septorhinoplasty straightens the septum and reshapes the nose in one operation, and functional rhinoplasty corrects problems such as nasal valve narrowing.
How long is recovery after rhinoplasty?
The external splint usually comes off after about a week and most bruising fades in two to three weeks. Subtle swelling, especially at the tip, can take many months to settle fully.
Does every blocked nose or sinus problem need surgery?
No. Many nose and sinus problems are treated with medicines. Surgery such as septoplasty or endoscopic sinus surgery is advised only when examination shows it will help.
How do I book an appointment?
Call or WhatsApp +91 98242 93935, or send an enquiry through the contact page. The team will confirm the location, day and time.
