Advanced Rhinoplasty (Nose Job)
AdvancedSpecialist surgeons onlyCashless insuranceFree follow-ups
Rhinoplasty - popularly called a nose job - is surgery that reshapes the nose to improve its appearance, its breathing function, or both. Because the nose sits at the centre of the face, even small refinements to a hump, a bulky tip, wide nostrils or a crooked bridge can bring the whole face into better harmony. Rhinoplasty is among the most requested cosmetic surgeries in India.
Concerns treated by rhinoplasty include a dorsal hump, a drooping or rounded tip, a wide or flat bridge, flared nostrils, and deformities after injury. Importantly, many patients also have a deviated septum blocking airflow; functional correction (septoplasty) is routinely combined with cosmetic reshaping in one operation, so you breathe better and look better after a single recovery.
At Axten Hospitals, rhinoplasty is performed only by specialist plastic and facial surgeons experienced in Indian nasal anatomy and skin types. Computer imaging during consultation helps set realistic expectations.

Symptoms of Nasal Reshaping
- A hump or bump on the bridge of the nose
- Bulbous, rounded or drooping nasal tip
- Wide nose or flared nostrils disproportionate to the face
- Crooked or deviated nose, often after an old injury
- Blocked breathing through one or both nostrils
- Flat or depressed bridge (saddle nose)
- Self-consciousness in photographs and social settings
Risks of delaying treatment
- Rhinoplasty is elective, but a deviated septum left uncorrected causes chronic mouth-breathing, snoring, poor sleep and recurrent sinus infections
- Untreated nasal injuries can heal crooked, making later correction more complex and sometimes needing rib cartilage grafts
- Long-standing dissatisfaction with a central facial feature can significantly affect self-esteem, photographs and social confidence
- Repeated temporary fillers over years cost more cumulatively and can compromise skin quality for future surgery
How is nasal reshaping diagnosed?
Rhinoplasty planning starts with a detailed facial analysis: the surgeon examines your nose from every angle, assesses skin thickness, cartilage strength, tip support and the relationship of the nose to the chin and forehead. Photographs are taken and computer imaging is often used to simulate achievable changes, aligning your expectations with what is anatomically realistic.
Internal examination with a nasal speculum or endoscope checks the septum, turbinates and airways - vital because up to half of cosmetic rhinoplasty patients also need functional correction. Routine blood tests and anaesthesia fitness complete the work-up. If you have had a previous nose surgery, a CT scan may be advised before revision rhinoplasty.
Benefits of advanced treatment
- Balanced, natural-looking nose that harmonises with your facial features
- Corrects humps, wide tips, crooked bridges and injury deformities
- Breathing problems from a deviated septum fixed in the same surgery
- Results are permanent once healing is complete
- Closed techniques leave no visible external scar in suitable cases
- Significant boost in facial confidence and photogenic appearance
Types of rhinoplasty (nose job)
Non-surgical options
- Filler (liquid) rhinoplasty - hyaluronic acid injections camouflage minor dips or a small hump temporarily; results last 9-18 months.
- Thread lifting of the tip - dissolvable threads give a subtle, short-lived tip lift in very selected cases.
Surgical & procedural options
- Open rhinoplasty - a tiny incision across the columella gives full visibility for precise reshaping of complex noses.
- Closed rhinoplasty - all incisions hidden inside the nostrils, suited to hump reduction and moderate reshaping with no external scar.
- Septorhinoplasty - combined septum straightening and cosmetic reshaping to restore breathing and appearance together.
- Augmentation rhinoplasty - building up a flat bridge using your own cartilage (septum, ear or rib) or safe implants.
- Tip-plasty - refinement limited to the nasal tip for bulbous or drooping tips.
- Revision rhinoplasty - corrective surgery for unsatisfactory results from a previous operation.
How the procedure is performed
Rhinoplasty is performed under general anaesthesia and takes about 2-3 hours. In the open approach, a small zigzag incision across the columella (the strip between the nostrils) is joined to internal incisions, letting the surgeon lift the skin and see the framework fully. In the closed approach, everything is done through incisions hidden inside the nostrils.
The surgeon then reshapes the framework: a hump is lowered and the bridge refined, the tip cartilages are sculpted and stitched into a more defined shape, nasal bones are precisely repositioned if the nose is wide or crooked, and the septum is straightened when breathing is affected. Cartilage grafts from the septum are often used to strengthen and support the new shape so it lasts.
Incisions are closed with fine sutures, soft internal splints or dissolvable packing support the septum, and a small external splint protects the bridge. You go home the same day or after one night. The splint comes off at about 7 days, revealing the early new shape - with refinement continuing as swelling settles over months.
Recovery & aftercare
- Keep your head elevated and apply cold compresses around (not on) the nose for the first 48 hours
- Expect bruising around the eyes for 7-10 days; the external splint is removed at about one week
- Do not blow your nose for 2 weeks; sneeze with your mouth open
- Avoid spectacles resting on the bridge for 4-6 weeks - use cheek supports or contact lenses
- Resume desk work in about a week and workouts after 3-4 weeks; avoid contact sports for 3 months
- About 80% of swelling settles by 6 weeks; the final refined shape emerges over 6-12 months, tracked at free Axten follow-ups

FAQs about rhinoplasty (nose job)
Will rhinoplasty leave a visible scar?
In closed rhinoplasty, all incisions are inside the nostrils, so there is no visible scar at all. Open rhinoplasty uses a tiny zigzag incision on the columella - the narrow strip between the nostrils - which typically fades into a barely perceptible line within a few months. Your surgeon will recommend the approach best for your nose.
How painful is a nose job?
Less than most people expect. The main discomfort is nasal blockage from internal swelling and splints during the first week, rather than pain. Mild aching is well controlled with ordinary painkillers for a few days. Bruising around the eyes looks dramatic but fades within 7-10 days and is not painful.
When will I see my final nose shape?
You will see a clear improvement when the splint comes off at about one week, though the nose is still swollen. Around 80% of swelling resolves by six weeks. The tip, which holds swelling longest, refines gradually - the final, delicate result is judged at 6-12 months. Free Axten follow-ups track this evolution.
Can rhinoplasty fix my breathing problem too?
Yes. A deviated septum, enlarged turbinates or weak nasal valves can be corrected in the same operation - called septorhinoplasty - so you get better breathing and better appearance with a single anaesthesia and one recovery. Many patients notice their sleep quality and exercise tolerance improve along with their looks.
What is the right age for rhinoplasty?
Surgery is generally done after facial growth is complete - around 17-18 years for girls and 18 years for boys. There is no upper age limit for healthy adults. For teenagers, surgeons also assess emotional maturity and motivation, ensuring the decision is the patient's own and expectations are realistic.
What does rhinoplasty cost in India?
At Axten Hospitals, rhinoplasty costs about ₹90,000 to ₹2,50,000 all-inclusive, depending on complexity - a tip refinement costs less than a full septorhinoplasty or revision case. The single honest quote covers surgeon, anaesthesia, theatre, splints and follow-ups with zero surprise billing, and 0% EMI is available. Call 8156-92-92-92 for an exact estimate.
Is a non-surgical (filler) nose job worth it?
Filler rhinoplasty can nicely camouflage a small hump or minor dip in minutes with no downtime, but it adds volume rather than reducing size, lasts only 9-18 months, and cannot narrow a wide nose or fix breathing. It suits minor corrections or those testing a change before committing to permanent surgery.
Will my nose look 'done' or unnatural?
Not with modern techniques. Today's rhinoplasty philosophy is structural - preserving and reinforcing cartilage support rather than over-removing it - which produces natural, balanced noses that age well. Axten surgeons plan around your ethnicity, skin thickness and facial proportions, aiming for a nose that looks like you were born with it.
