Comprehensive ENT and facial plastic care

  • Choose the concern that sounds closest to your problem.
  • Each visit starts with history, focused examination, and a clear plan before medicines, tests, procedures, or surgery are discussed.

Nose and sinus

Nasal blockage, sinus pressure, allergy-like symptoms, reduced smell, turbinate swelling, deviated septum, polyps, nosebleeds, and post-injury breathing issues.

Facial plastics

Rhinoplasty and septorhinoplasty consultation for nasal shape, crooked nose, nasal injury, nasal valve, breathing, and function-form planning.

Ear and hearing

Ear pain, discharge, wax, blocked ear, hearing concerns, recurrent infections, tinnitus, and when hearing tests or imaging may be useful.

Throat and voice

Tonsil symptoms, recurrent throat infection, hoarseness, reflux-like throat symptoms, vocal cord concerns, swallowing discomfort, and airway red flags.

Pediatric ENT

Children with recurrent ear infections, mouth breathing, snoring, tonsil or adenoid symptoms, hearing concerns, speech delay concerns, or nasal blockage.

Head, neck, thyroid

Neck swelling, thyroid/parotid concerns, oral lesions, and selected head-and-neck problems needing ENT evaluation and appropriate referral pathways.

Rhinoplasty, septoplasty, and septorhinoplasty

  • Dr. Gupta has a focused interest in rhinoplasty and functional nasal surgery.
  • The consultation is structured around breathing, anatomy, prior injury, facial balance, expectations, and safety.

Blocked nose pathway

Persistent blockage can come from allergy, sinusitis, turbinate swelling, deviated septum, nasal valve narrowing, polyps, or old injury.

  • Exam and symptom timeline
  • Nasal endoscopy when needed
  • Medical treatment for allergy/inflammation
  • Septoplasty or septorhinoplasty only when anatomy and symptoms fit

Rhinoplasty consultation

  • Rhinoplasty is not a promise of a fixed look.
  • It is a detailed evaluation of nasal form, function, facial proportions, breathing, and realistic goals.
  • Functional and aesthetic assessment
  • Photo-based discussion if appropriate
  • Risks, limits, alternatives, recovery
  • Natural, patient-specific planning

Children's ENT

Children may need ENT review for repeated infections, mouth breathing, hearing concerns, sleep symptoms, tonsils, adenoids, or blocked nose.

  • Parent-friendly explanation
  • Ear and throat examination
  • Hearing tests if indicated
  • Medicines, observation, or procedure planning

Voice and throat

Hoarseness lasting more than two weeks, painful swallowing, recurrent tonsil problems, or breathing-noise concerns should not be ignored.

  • Voice symptom timeline
  • Throat and larynx evaluation
  • Reflux, allergy, infection, vocal cord causes
  • Urgent red-flag routing

Ear and hearing

  • Blocked ear is not always wax.
  • Persistent pain, discharge, bleeding, reduced hearing, or one-sided symptoms deserve examination.
  • Ear canal and eardrum exam
  • Wax care without unsafe self-cleaning
  • Hearing tests when needed
  • Infection, eardrum, or rare lesion workup

FAQs

Is septoplasty the same as rhinoplasty?
  • Septoplasty addresses the internal septum for breathing obstruction.
  • Rhinoplasty addresses external nasal shape.
  • Septorhinoplasty evaluates both together.
Can medicines fix a deviated septum?
  • Medicines can help allergy or inflammation.
  • They do not straighten a structural deviation.
  • Examination helps decide what is actually causing blockage.
When should hoarseness be checked?
  • Voice change lasting more than two weeks should be evaluated.
  • Evaluation is especially important with pain, swallowing trouble, smoking history, or breathing symptoms.
What should I bring?
  • Prior prescriptions.
  • Scans or hearing tests.
