Rhinoplasty, or nose reshaping, is a medical or surgical intervention that reshapes the nose. Two broad procedures may be utilised in the process, closed (incisions within the nostrils) or open (incisions outside the nostrils), based on the required visibility.

The best way to ensure you get a good doctor is to use measures such as conducting thorough background checks, requesting pertinent pictures of past and current outcomes, understanding their procedures, how they consider the balance of the periorbital area and the whole face, and inquiring about aftercare and alterations.

Depending on the procedure, the surgeon's expertise, facility, and the complexity of the operation (whether functional or cosmetic), the average cost can range from ₹45,000 to ₹2,20,000 or more. Ask for a complete itemisation.

There will be bruising and swelling, especially around the eyes, for the first week. Many people return to light work on days 7–10, though it may take months to fully heal. Active pursuits should be postponed for several weeks.

When done correctly, the effects are long-lasting (usually permanent) and should result in a well-defined, balanced nose that complements your face, as well as perhaps improved breathing. Ageing is still occurring, but the structural improvement remains.
