Also known as: nose job, nose reshaping, septorhinoplasty
Discuss your care options →Rhinoplasty reshapes the nose by altering bone and cartilage, through incisions inside the nose (closed) or with a small cut across the skin between the nostrils (open). It can be cosmetic, functional, or both: septorhinoplasty also straightens the septum to improve breathing.

An individual estimate needs a defined plan and provider review. Ask for a written breakdown rather than comparing package names alone.
Confirm what is included, quotation validity, possible additional charges, and cancellation terms. Allow separately for accommodation, travel, local transfers, coordination fees, and care after returning home.
A splint is usually removed after about a week. Bruising settles in 2 to 3 weeks, but subtle swelling can take up to a year to resolve fully. Plan around 10 days near the surgeon before flying.
