What Is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes the nose by adjusting bone, cartilage, and sometimes skin, to change its size, shape, or proportions, and, when needed, to improve breathing function. It’s one of the most requested facial procedures worldwide, used to refine a bump on the bridge, a wide or drooping tip, nostril asymmetry, or a deviated septum that affects breathing.

It’s important to understand what rhinoplasty is not: it is not a procedure that can make the nose an idealized shape copied from someone else’s face. It works best when the plan is built around your own facial proportions, skin thickness, and existing nasal structure.

Rhinoplasty in Lahore at Azar Plast

At Azar Plast, rhinoplasty in Lahore is performed by Dr. Farhan Gohar, a Consultant Plastic, Reconstructive, and Cleft Surgeon with over 15 years of surgical experience. Every treatment plan starts with an in-person consultation and assessment of your nasal anatomy, skin thickness, breathing function, and goals, because the right technique and extent of reshaping differ from patient to patient. The focus throughout is on surgical safety, precision, and a nose that looks like a refined, natural part of your face rather than an obviously “done” look.

Rhinoplasty Techniques

Depending on your nasal anatomy, goals, and consultation findings, rhinoplasty can be performed using different approaches:

Closed Rhinoplasty

Incisions are placed entirely inside the nostrils, leaving no visible external scar. Well suited to more limited reshaping and refinement.

Open Rhinoplasty

A small incision is added across the columella (the strip of tissue between the nostrils), giving the surgeon a fuller view of the nasal structure. Often used for more complex reshaping or revision cases.

Septorhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty combined with septal correction, addressing both the external shape of the nose and internal breathing function at the same time.

Your surgeon will recommend the right technique for your case at your consultation — not every technique suits every patient or goal.

The Rhinoplasty Procedure, Step by Step

01

Consultation & Planning

Your surgeon evaluates your nasal structure, skin thickness, and breathing, discusses your goals, reviews your medical history, and plans the most suitable approach.

02

Anesthesia

General anesthesia or sedation is administered, depending on the extent of surgery, to keep you comfortable and safe throughout.

03

Reshaping the Structure

Through the chosen incision approach, the underlying bone and cartilage are reshaped, reduced, or reinforced to achieve the planned contour, and the septum is corrected if breathing is affected.

04

Refining the Tip & Bridge

The nasal tip and bridge are refined for proportion and symmetry with the rest of the face.

05

Closure & Splinting

Incisions are closed and an external splint, with internal splints if needed, is applied to protect and support the new shape while it heals.

Procedure length depends on the extent of reshaping — typically 1.5 to 3 hours.

Is Rhinoplasty Safe?

When performed by a qualified, experienced surgeon in an appropriate surgical facility, rhinoplasty is a well-established and generally safe procedure. Like any surgery, it carries risks — swelling, bruising, temporary breathing changes, asymmetry, or the need for a minor revision — which is why proper patient selection and surgical planning matter more than the marketing claims of any single technique.

A safety principle worth knowing as you research: the nose is one of the more technically demanding areas in facial surgery, because small changes in millimeters can visibly change the result, and healing continues to reshape the nose for up to a year. This is why experienced, structured surgical planning matters more here than in many other procedures. This is something Dr. Farhan Gohar will assess and explain clearly for your specific case.

Is Rhinoplasty Painful?

Most patients experience mild to moderate discomfort, more related to nasal congestion and pressure than sharp pain, managed with prescribed medication in the first few days. Swelling and bruising around the eyes and nose are normal and typically improve significantly within one to two weeks. General anesthesia or sedation keeps you comfortable during the procedure itself — discomfort is mainly a recovery-phase experience.

RECOVERY JOURNEY

Recovery Timeline

Recovery after rhinoplasty varies from person to person. Here's a general guide to what you may expect during the healing process.

01
FIRST FEW DAYS

Splint & Early Recovery

Rest, keep the head elevated; the external splint stays on, and swelling and bruising around the eyes are normal.

02
1–2 WEEKS

Splint Removal & Light Activities

The splint is removed, most visible bruising fades, and most patients return to light daily activities.

03
4–6 WEEKS

Visible Shape Changes

Most swelling has resolved and the nose begins to show its more refined shape, though some subtle swelling can remain.

04
UP To 12 MONTHS

Final Results Develop

Final results settle in fully as the skin and soft tissue continue to redrape over the new structure.

✓
Every Recovery Is Different

Recovery pace varies by patient and by skin thickness.

Rhinoplasty Before and After Results

Results vary based on your starting anatomy, skin thickness, the extent of reshaping, and how closely post-op instructions are followed.

Rhinoplasty Cost

Rhinoplasty cost in Pakistan is not a single fixed number — it depends on:

✓

Extent of reshaping required

limited refinement costs less than a comprehensive reshaping

✓

Technique used

open vs. closed, and whether septal correction is included

✓

Primary vs. revision rhinoplasty

revision cases are generally more complex

✓

Anesthesia type and case complexity

+

General Market Reference

As a general market reference, rhinoplasty cost in Pakistan commonly falls in a broad range depending on technique and complexity, with straightforward cosmetic reshaping at the lower end and combined septorhinoplasty or revision cases running higher. These figures are general market context, not a quote — your actual rhinoplasty cost in Lahore can only be confirmed after Dr. Farhan Gohar assesses your nasal anatomy and goals in person.
