Rhinoplasty

What is it?

Rhinoplasty in India is a surgical procedure that improves the structure and appearance of the nose to enhance facial harmony and address functional concerns.

As the central feature of the face, the nose plays a major role in defining your overall look. Even subtle changes can bring out a more balanced and refined appearance. At RGIMS, we offer advanced rhinoplasty procedures in India, performed by experienced facial plastic and maxillofacial surgeons who combine medical expertise with an artistic eye.

Each treatment is carefully planned to match your facial features and personal goals. In expert hands, rhinoplasty creates natural-looking results that enhance your confidence while staying true to your identity.

About Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, is a cosmetic and functional procedure designed to enhance the appearance of the nose and improve facial balance. Since the nose is the central feature of the face, even minor changes can bring noticeable improvement to your overall look and confidence.

At RGIMS, we believe rhinoplasty is more than just aesthetic correction, it’s a journey toward feeling aligned with your natural features. Whether you’re looking to refine a broad nose, correct a bump, address asymmetry, or resolve breathing issues like a deviated septum, our approach is tailored to your unique needs.

Led by expert maxillofacial surgeon Dr Rahul Gogoi, our clinic is known for delivering some of the best rhinoplasty results in India. Every patient begins with a detailed one-on-one consultation where we discuss concerns, goals, and realistic expectations. You can even bring reference images to help shape the vision you have for your results. Based on your facial structure, Dr Rahul guides you through what is achievable and may also suggest complementary procedures like chin or eyelid surgery for enhanced facial harmony.

Throughout the process, from consultation to post-surgery recovery, you are supported by a compassionate and experienced team. With advanced techniques, thorough planning, and a strong focus on natural results, RGIMS is proud to be a trusted destination for rhinoplasty in India.

Results Of Treatment

Asian Rhinoplasty

Asian rhinoplasty is a specialized approach to nose reshaping tailored to enhance the natural beauty and unique features of Asian patients. Unlike Western rhinoplasty, which often focuses on reducing size, Rhinoplasty in India usually emphasizes creating subtle yet refined changes, such as enhancing nasal bridge height or reshaping the tip for added definition. Surgeons use advanced techniques and may incorporate cartilage grafts to ensure a balanced profile and harmonious look that complements other facial features. This procedure requires a keen understanding of cultural aesthetics, helping patients achieve natural-looking results while preserving their individual identity.

Nose Hump Rhinoplasty

Nose hump rhinoplasty, also known as dorsal hump reduction, addresses the prominent bump along the nasal bridge, enhancing facial balance and profile. This procedure involves reshaping the nasal bone and cartilage to smooth the dorsal line, creating a more refined and proportional look. It requires precision to maintain the natural flow from the bridge to the tip, avoiding an overly straightened or artificial appearance. Ideal for patients with a dorsal hump that disrupts facial harmony, nose hump rhinoplasty can dramatically enhance confidence, creating a smooth and attractive nasal contour that aligns with the patient’s unique facial structure.

Revision Rhinoplasty

Revision rhinoplasty is a corrective procedure designed for patients who have had previous nasal surgeries but are dissatisfied with their results, either functionally or aesthetically. It aims to address complications, correct asymmetry, or refine appearance while preserving nasal function. Given its complexity, this procedure requires a highly skilled surgeon with expertise in reconstructive techniques to rebuild the nasal structure, often using cartilage grafts from the ear or ribs. Revision rhinoplasty is uniquely tailored to each patient’s needs, offering them a chance to achieve their ideal outcome and restore both confidence and comfort in their appearance.

Price Of Rhinoplasty In India

Rhinoplasty is more than just a cosmetic procedure. It’s a step toward feeling more confident and comfortable in your own skin. At RGIMS in Guwahati, every nose surgery is handled with care, precision, and a personal touch under the expert guidance of Dr Rahul Gogoi, a trusted name in facial plastic and maxillofacial surgery.

Cost of Primary Rhinoplasty

Primary rhinoplasty at RGIMS is priced at INR 2,50,000 (around USD 2,950). This package includes:

  • • Stay at the clinic for up to 3 days
  • • Anaesthesia and surgical team fees
  • • In-surgery medications
  • • Real-time blood gas monitoring with an advanced ABG machine for extra safety

Few clinics in India offer this level of surgical safety, and our use of an ABG machine ensures that patients are closely monitored during the procedure.

In comparison, rhinoplasty in bigger cities like Delhi or Mumbai typically ranges between INR 2,00,000 and 5,00,000. At RGIMS, you get the benefit of experienced hands, detailed care, and transparent pricing in the range of INR 2,50,000 to 3,00,000, depending on your specific needs.

Patients travelling from outside Guwahati are also looked after with airport pick-up and drop-off services, along with home-cooked meals during recovery. Every detail is designed to make your healing journey comfortable and stress-free.

Cost of Revision Rhinoplasty

Revision rhinoplasty is often needed when a previous surgery did not meet expectations or was improperly performed. The cost at RGIMS depends on the condition of the nasal structure:

  • • Standard revision procedures are priced at INR 3,00,000 (about USD 3,600)
  • • Complex revisions, where internal cartilage is damaged, are priced at INR 3,50,000

In cities like Delhi and Mumbai, the cost of revision rhinoplasty can range between INR 3,00,000 and 5,00,000, but at RGIMS, patients receive world-class care at competitive pricing, with a strong focus on surgical precision and personalised attention.

Why Patients Trust RGIMS

Dr Rahul Gogoi believes in doing rhinoplasty the right way, not the fastest way. That’s one reason why the revision rate at RGIMS is less than 2 percent, far below the global average of over 25 percent. His deep understanding of facial structure and refined techniques lead to results that look natural and feel right.

During recovery, patients stay in clean and comfortable rooms. The 3-day stay is included in the primary rhinoplasty package. If additional nights are needed, the cost is INR 3,500 per day. Meals are prepared fresh in our on-site kitchen, offering nourishing food made just like home.

How it Works

The process starts with a detailed consultation where the surgeon assesses facial structure, nasal shape, and any functional breathing issues.

The surgery involves making incisions either inside the nostrils (closed rhinoplasty) or across the columella (open rhinoplasty) to access and reshape the underlying bone and cartilage.

Initial recovery takes about 1-2 weeks, but complete healing, including final nose shape, can take up to a year.

Patients can expect a more proportionate, aesthetically pleasing nose shape and potentially improved breathing.

Who are ideal candidates for treatment:

Rhinoplasty can be life-changing for the right individual. You may be a good candidate if:

  • You are unhappy with the shape, size, or overall appearance of your nose and wish to improve facial harmony.
  • You've experienced an accident or injury that caused a noticeable change or deformity in your nose.
  • You're seeking improvement, not perfection, and have realistic expectations about what the surgery can achieve.
  • You're in good overall health, a non-smoker, and committed to a healthy recovery process.
  • You're not planning any major life events or important engagements for the next 6 months, giving your body time to heal and your results to settle.
  • Realistic expectations regarding the outcome of the surgery.

If this sounds like you, rhinoplasty might be a great step toward feeling more confident and comfortable in your appearance.

Quick answers to questions you may have

Yes. Our rhinoplasty procedures are performed by highly experienced max fax surgeons, including Dr. Rahul Gogoi, and are fully tailored to your facial structure and aesthetic goals. We prioritize natural-looking results and complete safety from consultation to recovery.

In comparison to other regions of India, such as Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Chennai, Kolkata, Surat, Pune, and Jaipur, nose reshaping or rhinoplasty in Guwahati costs between 2.5L and 3L, which is highly competitive.

Safety is our utmost priority. Our experienced surgical team utilizes advanced, state-of-the-art techniques and maintains the highest standards of hygiene and safety. We conduct thorough pre-operative assessments and monitor patients closely during and after procedures to ensure the safest, most comfortable experience possible. For those opting for rhinoplasty in India, we ensure that the procedure is performed with the highest level of expertise, delivering exceptional results while prioritizing patient safety and comfort throughout the process.

Everyone heals at their own pace, but most people feel ready to get back to regular life within 10 to 14 days. Swelling takes a little longer to go down completely—sometimes a few months but the changes start becoming noticeable much sooner. At RGIMS, we stay in touch with you throughout the healing process so you’re never left wondering what’s normal and what’s not.

All of the surgical incisions for a closed rhinoplasty are done within the nose, making them invisible after the procedure. Open rhinoplasty, in which the surgeon makes an incision at the nose’s base, is necessary in some circumstances. Rhinoplasty in India offers both techniques, with skilled surgeons utilizing advanced methods to ensure minimal scarring and optimal results.

That’s a common concern, and the good news is: in most cases, scars are barely visible. If we need to do an open rhinoplasty, there might be a small scar at the base of your nose, but it usually fades well over time. We always choose techniques that give the best results while keeping scarring to a minimum.

Yes, absolutely. While some people choose rhinoplasty for cosmetic reasons, many also come to us with breathing issues caused by things like a deviated septum. Dr Rahul Gogoi takes both form and function into account, so your nose looks good and works well too.

During the surgery, you’ll be completely under anaesthesia, so there’s no pain then. Afterwards, you might feel a bit sore or stuffy for a few days, but it’s manageable with the medications we provide. Most of our patients say the discomfort is far less than they expected.

If you’ve been thinking about changing the shape of your nose or have trouble breathing through it, you might be a good fit for the surgery. The best way to know for sure is to come in for a one-on-one consultation. We’ll take time to understand your concerns, go over what’s possible, and help you decide if now is the right time.
