Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to reshape the nose for cosmetic enhancement, functional improvement, or both. People seek rhinoplasty for cosmetic concerns such as a hump, asymmetry, or disproportionate size, or for functional issues like a deviated septum, which can cause nasal obstruction, difficulty breathing, snoring, or recurrent sinus infections. There are two main surgical techniques: open rhinoplasty, which involves a small external incision to provide better visibility and access for complex reshaping, and closed rhinoplasty, performed entirely through internal incisions with no external scar, typically used for simpler modifications. Choosing a board-certified facial plastic surgeon is vital to ensure precision, safety, and optimal aesthetic outcomes. Surgery is usually performed in a hospital or an accredited private surgical facility, depending on patient needs and complexity. Costs vary widely in India, generally ranging from ₹1,50,000 to ₹5,00,000, covering surgeon fees, anesthesia, facility charges, and post-operative care. Post-surgery recovery guidance emphasizes managing swelling with cold compresses, avoiding trauma to the nose, following prescribed medications, and understanding that subtle swelling can persist for up to a year, with most aesthetic results stabilizing around 12 months after surgery.
