Rhinoplasty Cost in Gurgaon, India

The cost of rhinoplasty in Gurgaon typically ranges from $620 to $6,000 USD (about ₹58,800 to ₹5.69 lakh), depending on the hospital, room category and type of procedure.

A typical estimate for rhinoplasty in Gurgaon is around $2,000 (about ₹1.90 lakh). What you pay depends mainly on your own case. If one area is treated and you go home the same day, your bill is likely to be closer to $620 (about ₹58,800). It is likely to be nearer $6,000 (about ₹5.69 lakh) if several procedures are combined, the operation takes longer, you stay overnight or you choose a more senior surgeon.

When comparing Gurgaon packages for rhinoplasty, check whether each quote includes:

• Surgeon and anaesthetist fees
• Operating theatre or procedure room
• Dressings, splints or garments
• GST
• Hospital stay and room category
• Medicines and consumables
• Follow-up visits before you fly home

Rhinoplasty, often called a nose job, alters the shape of the nose, and surgery on the septum at the same time can also improve breathing.

Closed rhinoplasty keeps every cut inside the nostrils so no scar is visible, whereas open rhinoplasty adds a small cut across the strip of skin between the nostrils so the surgeon can see the cartilage.

BAPRAS gives 90 to 180 minutes for a rhinoplasty, usually with an overnight stay, and a splint for about a week; roughly 60% of the change in the tip shows by three weeks and the rest can take up to a year.

BAPRAS advises about two weeks away from work and no hard exercise for 4 to 6 weeks, with bruising lasting 7 to 10 days if the nasal bones were broken.

Possible problems include a change in sense of smell, altered breathing, bleeding, small irregularities and unhappiness with the final look.

Flying home: UK aviation guidance has no figure for cosmetic surgery, so book the flight after the surgeon's wound check and walk about regularly on board.

A Gurgaon quote for rhinoplasty is normally made up of these items:

• Pre-operative tests: blood tests, ECG and anaesthetic review.
• Theatre and anaesthesia: set mostly by operating time.
• Surgeon's fees: which vary with experience.
• GST: may be added, as cosmetic surgery is not exempt healthcare.
• Open or closed technique: and how much work is needed.
• Septal surgery: if breathing is treated too.
• Anaesthetic and stay: normally one night.
• Follow-up: splint removal and reviews.

Cosmetic surgery in Gurgaon is normally paid for privately, so check whether the quote includes GST, the anaesthetist, compression garments and follow-up visits.

Gurgaon has plastic surgery services in both hospitals and day-care clinics, and for anything under general anaesthesia an on-site intensive care unit adds a margin of safety.

The National Accreditation Board for Hospitals & Healthcare Providers (NABH), part of the Quality Council of India and accredited by ISQua, sets India's national hospital standard, and its website lets you confirm whether a Gurgaon hospital's accreditation is current.

Before booking cosmetic surgery in Gurgaon, check that the surgeon is listed on the National Medical Commission's Indian Medical Register and ask for their medical council registration number.

Where a Gurgaon hospital has an international patient desk, ask whether it can issue the letter for your e-Medical visa and help with airport pickup, interpreters and a place to stay nearby.
