Rhinoplasty Plastic Surgery for Improved Shape and Breathing

What is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a "nose job," is a structural re-contouring procedure that reshapes nasal bone and cartilage to enhance both appearance and breathing without removing skin. Surgeons can modify size, straighten crooked bridges, narrow tips, adjust lip angles, widen nasal airways, or repair traumatic injuries. Because the nose sits centrally on the face, even 2-millimetre changes create visible differences. The goal is natural-looking results that balance facial features while ensuring free airflow. Advances like computer-simulation previews and ultrasonic piezo instruments for bloodless bone shaping have made this the second most widely requested cosmetic surgery in modern global healthcare tourism.

• ✔ Large dorsal hump
• ✔ Drooping or bulbous tip
• ✔ Crooked or twisted nose after injury
• ✔ Wide nasal bones or flared nostrils
• ✔ Breathing blockage from deviated septum
• ✔ Previous unsatisfactory surgery (secondary rhinoplasty)
• ✔ Ethnic preservation

Types / Procedures Available

Surgeons choose the approach after measuring skin thickness, bridge height and airway width.

• Closed Rhinoplasty, in this surgery, all incisions hidden inside the nostrils, so, no skin scar, and swelling resolves faster, too.
• Open Rhinoplasty, this process includes small incision across the columella for full exposure, the scars fades to invisible, and it is usually preferred for complex tip work.
• Ultrasonic (Piezo) Rhinoplasty, in which sound waves sculpt bone without breaking surrounding tissue, which makes it less bruising with no “chisel tap” noise.
• Septorhinoplasty, it combines cosmetic reshaping with septum straightening to improve breathing, also, turbinate reduction can be added.
• Ethnic Rhinoplasty maintains ethnic features while refining shape (e.g., lower bridge, narrower tip, stronger columellar support)
• Revision Rhinoplasty corrects or improves results from previous surgery, it often uses ear or rib cartilage grafts for added support
• Preservation Rhinoplasty keeps existing bridge and lowers it from below, it popular in global healthcare tourism for faster recovery

How much does Rhinoplasty Cost?

Rhinoplasty is mid- to high-range in cosmetic pricing. In the USA primary rhinoplasty averages $8,000–$15,000. Through medical tourism you pay 60-75% less even after adding flights and 4 star star hotel.

Which are the Cheapest, yet Safe markets for Rhinoplasty?

Turkey, Iran and South Korea lead the price–quality ranking. An all-inclusive 7–8-day package (consult, CT scan, surgery, splint removal, hotel, airport transfers) ranges from $3,000 in Istanbul to $4,800 in Seoul—still thousands cheaper than the surgeon’s fee alone in New York or London.
