Rhinoplasty (nose job) in Delhi NCR

Symptoms and signs

• Unhappiness with the size, shape or angle of the nose
• A nose that looks different after an injury
• Difficulty breathing through the nose

• Injury to the nose
• Previous nasal surgery

How a doctor assesses it

The surgeon asks what you would like to change and examines the nose inside and out. They may take photographs to plan the surgery and discuss what is realistic for your face. If breathing is a concern, an ENT examination may be advised.

Who may need it

Rhinoplasty is for adults whose nose has finished growing, who are in good general health and have realistic expectations. A good consultation includes honest discussion of what can be changed and what cannot. The surgeon decides whether you are suitable.

Treatment options

What the procedure involves

The surgeon and anaesthetist decide the type of anaesthesia. The operation may be done through cuts inside the nose or a small cut at its base, and the surgeon reshapes bone and cartilage. A splint is placed on the nose, and soft supports may be placed inside.

Most people go home the same day or after a short stay. You will have follow-up visits to remove the splint and check healing.

Recovery

• Swelling and bruising around the nose and eyes are common early on
• A splint stays on for a period your surgeon decides
• Blowing the nose and strenuous activity are avoided for a time
• Swelling goes down slowly, and the final shape takes many months
• Sun protection and careful handling of the nose are advised

Everyone heals differently. Follow your own surgeon's instructions.

Risks

• Bleeding
• Infection
• Breathing difficulty or a blocked nose
• Asymmetry or a result that differs from what you hoped
• Numbness or skin changes
• A need for revision surgery
• Risks linked to anaesthesia

Your surgeon will explain which risks matter most for you. No result can be guaranteed.

Cost and payment

The cost of rhinoplasty treatment depends on your case and cannot be fixed without a medical assessment. These are the main things that change it:

• Whether the surgery is cosmetic, functional or both
• How complex the changes are, or whether it is a revision
• The hospital or day-care centre and the room type
• The surgeon's and anaesthetist's fees
• Tests and scans before surgery
• Medicines, dressings and follow-up visits
• Whether you pay in cash, use EMI or claim insurance

Our team explains your options for cash, EMI and insurance, helps you compare packages and handles insurance paperwork. Try the EMI calculator to plan your payments. Insurance cover depends on your policy and insurer, and approval cannot be promised.

Questions to ask your surgeon

• What changes are realistic for my nose?
• Will the surgery affect my breathing?
• How is the result planned and shown to me?
• What happens if I am not happy with the result?
• Who will perform my procedure, and how often have they done it?
• What are the risks for me and how are complications handled?
