Your surgeons
Rhinoplasty at Kezza is performed by Dr. Mandhata Sharma (ENT & rhinoplasty) and Dr. Nakul Somani (plastic surgery). You meet the surgeon who will operate before any decision is made.
Why patients choose Kezza for rhinoplasty
- Shape and breathing assessed together. As an ENT surgeon, Dr. Mandhata Sharma examines the inside of your nose too, so a blocked nose can be corrected in the same operation.
- A plastic surgeon's view. Dr. Nakul Somani trained in plastic surgery at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, New Delhi, with a fellowship at Cocoona, Dubai.
- A clear starting price. From ₹80,000, with the full cost explained after your examination.
- Honest expectations. Swelling settles over months, so you are told what to expect at each stage of healing.
The Procedure
What is rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty, often called a nose job, is an operation that reshapes the bone and cartilage of the nose. It can make the nose smaller or, less often, larger; straighten a crooked nose; remove a bump on the bridge; refine or lift the tip; or narrow wide nostrils. When surgery on the septum — the wall of cartilage and bone between the nostrils — is added to help you breathe, it is called a septorhinoplasty.
There are two main approaches. In a closed rhinoplasty all the cuts are made inside the nostrils. In an open rhinoplasty there is also a small cut across the strip of skin between the nostrils (the columella), which gives the surgeon a direct view of the tip. Your surgeon recommends the approach that suits the changes you want.
According to the NHS, the operation usually takes 1.5 to 3 hours and is normally done under general anaesthesia. A splint is taped over the nose for about a week, and it can take months for the final shape to show, because swelling settles slowly — especially at the tip.
Shape and function are closely linked: reducing a nose can narrow the airway, and a deviated septum can make a nose look crooked. That is why it helps that rhinoplasty at Kezza is led by an ENT surgeon, who looks at how your nose works as well as how it looks.

The starting price is for rhinoplasty at Kezza Clinic as confirmed in October 2026. Your quote depends on the plan agreed at consultation.
Ask about your quoteWhat changes the final cost
- Cosmetic rhinoplasty only, or a septorhinoplasty that also corrects breathing
- A first operation or a revision of previous nose surgery, which is usually more complex
- Whether cartilage grafts are needed to support the tip or the middle of the nose
- Anaesthesia, operating time and any overnight stay
- Medicines, dressings and follow-up visits — ask what your quote includes
Questions worth asking before you decide
- Who will perform my operation, and who looks after me afterwards?
- Open or closed approach, and where will any scar be?
- What is included in the quote, and what would cost extra?
- What result is realistic for my nose and skin?
Common Goals
What rhinoplasty can change
Most people come with one or two specific concerns. Your surgeon will tell you which changes are possible for your nose and which are not.
Suitability
Is rhinoplasty right for you?
A good result starts with the right reasons and the right timing.
Rhinoplasty may suit you if
- A specific feature of your nose bothers you — a bump, the tip, the width or a crooked line
- You have a blocked nose and want your breathing assessed as well as the shape
- Your nose has finished growing (usually by the late teens) and you are in good general health
- You have realistic expectations and are having surgery for yourself, not to please someone else
Talk to your surgeon first if
- You have injured your nose recently — your surgeon will advise when it is safe to operate
- You smoke — smoking slows healing, and you will be asked to stop before and after surgery
- You take blood thinners, aspirin or supplements such as fish oil (only stop them on medical advice)
- You have a bleeding disorder, diabetes, high blood pressure or another long-term condition
- You are pregnant, or worries about your appearance take up a lot of your day
Under-18s are assessed with a parent or guardian, and surgeons usually wait until the nose has stopped growing. If worries about your appearance are affecting daily life, it is worth talking them through before any cosmetic surgery.
Step by Step
Your rhinoplasty journey at Kezza
From the first conversation to your final review.
- 01Consultation
Examination and goals
The surgeon examines the outside and inside of your nose, asks about breathing, injuries and previous surgery, and talks through what you would like to change. Photographs may be taken for planning.
- 02Planning
Your plan and quote
You agree on the changes and the approach (open or closed), and receive your quote. Routine blood tests and a fitness check for anaesthesia are arranged.
- 03Preparation
The weeks before
Stop smoking, avoid medicines that increase bleeding only as your doctor advises, and arrange for someone to take you home and stay with you.
- 04Surgery day
1.5 to 3 hours
The operation is usually done under general anaesthesia. A splint is placed on your nose, sometimes with soft packing inside for a short time.
- 05First week
Rest and protect
Keep your head raised, use cold compresses around (not on) the nose, avoid blowing your nose and bending, and take the medicines prescribed.
- 06Follow-up
Splint off and reviews
The splint and any stitches are usually removed after about a week. Follow-up visits check healing while the swelling settles.
Recovery
Rhinoplasty recovery timeline

- Week 4–6
Exercise
Avoid strenuous exercise and contact sports for 4 to 6 weeks.
- Month 6–12
Final shape
Swelling can take up to 6 months to go completely; fine changes at the tip can continue for up to a year.
Options
Surgical vs non-surgical (filler) rhinoplasty
Filler injections are sometimes called a 'liquid nose job'. They can disguise small irregularities, but they are not a substitute for surgery.
| Surgical rhinoplasty | Filler ('non-surgical') rhinoplasty | |
|---|---|---|
| What it can do | Reduce, straighten, narrow or refine the nose by reshaping bone and cartilage | Add volume to smooth a small bump or lift the tip; it cannot make a nose smaller |
| Breathing problems | Can be corrected at the same time (septorhinoplasty) | Cannot help breathing |
| How long it lasts | Long-lasting, although the nose still changes with age | Temporary — usually months |
| Recovery | Splint for about a week; up to 2 weeks off work; swelling settles over months | Little downtime |
| Main risks | Surgical and anaesthetic risks; some people need revision surgery | Rare but serious: filler blocking a blood vessel, which can damage skin and, very rarely, vision |
Safety
Risks and side effects of rhinoplasty
Every operation carries some risk. Knowing them helps you make an informed choice and spot problems early.
Expected after surgery
- Swelling and bruising around the nose and eyes
- A blocked nose for a few weeks while the inside heals
- Mild bleeding in the first days
- Numbness or stiffness of the nasal tip for some months
- Tiredness for the first week or two
Less common risks
- Heavy nosebleeds or infection
- Breathing that is worse rather than better, or a changed sense of smell
- Damage to the septum, including a small hole (perforation)
- An uneven result, or a result you are not happy with — some people need a second operation
- General surgical risks such as a blood clot or a reaction to the anaesthetic
Contact the clinic urgently if you have heavy bleeding that does not stop, a high temperature, increasing pain or swelling, or difficulty breathing after surgery.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
At Kezza Clinic, rhinoplasty starts from ₹80,000. The final cost depends on whether you need cosmetic reshaping only or septorhinoplasty for breathing as well, whether it is a first operation or a revision, whether cartilage grafts are needed, and anaesthesia and operating time. You receive your quote after a consultation.
Rhinoplasty is performed by Dr. Mandhata Sharma, an ENT, rhinoplasty and head & neck surgeon with an MS in ENT from Maulana Azad Medical College, Delhi, and by Dr. Nakul Somani, a visiting aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgeon trained at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, New Delhi, with a fellowship at Cocoona, Dubai. Both consult at our Jaipur clinic.
The operation is done under general anaesthesia, so you do not feel it. Afterwards most people describe pressure, a blocked nose and soreness rather than severe pain, and this is usually controlled with the medicines your surgeon prescribes.
The splint usually stays on for about a week. Many people return to desk work within 2 weeks, and you should avoid strenuous exercise and contact sports for 4 to 6 weeks. Swelling can take up to 6 months to go completely, and small changes at the tip can continue for up to a year.
If a deviated septum or another problem inside the nose is blocking your breathing, it can often be corrected in the same operation. This is called septorhinoplasty. Because Dr. Mandhata Sharma is an ENT surgeon, breathing is assessed at your consultation along with the shape of your nose.
In a closed rhinoplasty all the cuts are inside the nostrils, so there is no visible scar. In an open rhinoplasty there is a small scar across the columella, the strip of skin between the nostrils, which usually fades well over time.
Surgeons usually wait until the nose has stopped growing, which is typically by the late teens. Most cosmetic rhinoplasty is done in adults. Under-18s are assessed with a parent or guardian.
Changes to the bone and cartilage are long-lasting, but your nose will still change gradually with age, and an injury can alter it. Most of the shape is visible within a few months, and the final result takes up to a year to settle.
