What Is Rhinoplasty?

Nose reshaping surgery, commonly known as a "nose job", is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures worldwide. It can reshape, resize, or reconstruct the nose to improve facial harmony and, in some cases, breathing function.

Whether you're looking to refine the bridge, adjust the tip, narrow the nostrils, or correct asymmetry, our partner surgeons specialise in delivering natural-looking results tailored to your unique facial structure.

Common Concerns Rhinoplasty Can Address

Unhappy with the size or shape of your nose
Noticeable asymmetry or crookedness
A bump on the bridge you'd like smoothed
Breathing difficulties from a deviated septum

Are You a Good Candidate?

In good general health
Non-smoker (or willing to stop before surgery)
Realistic expectations about outcomes

Techniques & Options

Every nose is different, and so is every rhinoplasty. Your surgeon will assess your nasal structure, skin type, and goals during your consultation to recommend the best approach. The procedure can address a wide range of concerns, from refining the bridge and tip to correcting asymmetry or improving breathing.

There are two main surgical techniques:

Open Rhinoplasty

A small incision is made across the columella (the strip of tissue between the nostrils), allowing the surgeon to lift the skin and work with full visibility of the nasal structure.

Best for complex reshaping, significant structural changes, or revision surgery
Greater precision for tip refinement and cartilage grafting
Small scar fades to nearly invisible within a few months

Closed Rhinoplasty

All incisions are made inside the nostrils, meaning there are no external cuts and no visible scarring. The surgeon works through the nostrils to reshape the bone and cartilage.

Ideal for more subtle refinements such as smoothing a bump or narrowing the bridge
Shorter procedure time and faster recovery
No visible scarring at all

Recovery Timeline

Days 1–3

Swelling and bruising around the eyes and nose are normal and expected. A nasal splint is placed to protect the nose and support its new shape. You'll rest comfortably at your hotel with daily check-ins from your care coordinator.

Day 7

Splint removal at your follow-up appointment. Most bruising has faded and swelling is noticeably reduced. You'll start to see the new shape emerging, though the nose will continue to refine over the coming weeks.

Weeks 2–4

Swelling continues to reduce gradually. You can resume light activities, return to non-strenuous work, and most patients feel comfortable being seen in public. Avoid contact sports and heavy lifting during this period.

Months 3–6

The final shape becomes apparent as residual swelling settles and the nasal tissues fully heal. Full results are typically visible by 6 months, with subtle refinements continuing for up to a year in some cases.

Safety & Risks

All surgical procedures carry some degree of risk. Rhinoplasty is a well-established procedure with a strong safety record, especially when performed by experienced surgeons in accredited facilities.

Temporary swelling and bruising
Numbness around the nose
Minor asymmetry

Infection (rare)
Breathing changes
Need for revision (uncommon)

Because the nose is a complex three-dimensional structure with delicate cartilage, bone, and soft tissue, your surgeon will conduct a thorough nasal assessment and walk you through every potential risk specific to your anatomy before you proceed.

Common Questions About Rhinoplasty

Everything you need to know before your procedure

We recommend a minimum stay of 10–14 days. This allows time for your pre-operative consultation, the procedure itself, initial recovery, and your follow-up appointment with the surgeon.

The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia, so you won't feel anything during surgery. Post-operative discomfort is usually mild and well-managed with prescribed pain medication. Most patients describe it as more uncomfortable than painful.

With closed rhinoplasty, all incisions are inside the nostrils so there are no visible scars. Open rhinoplasty leaves a tiny scar on the columella (between the nostrils) which typically fades to become virtually invisible within a few months.

Most patients can fly home 10–14 days after rhinoplasty, once the splint has been removed and your surgeon confirms you're healing well. This covers your consultation, surgery, recovery, and follow-up appointment.

Our quoted prices typically include the surgeon's fee, anaesthesia, hospital fees, and post-operative follow-up appointments. Accommodation and flights are arranged separately, though we can help coordinate everything.

We only partner with board-certified plastic surgeons at JCI-accredited hospitals. Your care coordinator will recommend surgeons based on your specific goals, and you'll have a video consultation before committing to anything.

Yes, rhinoplasty is commonly combined with chin augmentation or other facial procedures to achieve balanced results. Your surgeon will advise on what's safe and appropriate during your consultation.

Our partner surgeons have excellent track records and take time to understand your goals before surgery. In the rare event that a revision is needed, your surgeon will discuss options with you. Many surgeons offer revision policies as part of their aftercare.

While it's not required, many patients find it helpful to have a companion for the first few days of recovery. Our care coordinators are available throughout your stay to assist with anything you need, so you'll never be without support.

You'll receive personalised pre-op instructions from your surgeon. For nose reshaping, it's particularly important to avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, and other blood-thinning medications for two weeks beforehand, as nasal tissues bruise easily. Stop smoking at least four weeks prior to promote optimal healing of the delicate nasal skin, and avoid wearing glasses that rest on the bridge in the weeks following surgery. Arrange accommodation close to the hospital for convenient follow-up visits.
