A typical estimate for tip plasty in New Delhi is around $3,200 (about ₹3.04 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 New Delhi packages for tip plasty, 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

Tip plasty reshapes only the cartilage at the tip of the nose, leaving the bridge and nasal bones unchanged.

Tip plasty suits people who like the rest of their nose but want a more refined tip; if a hump or width also bothers you, a full rhinoplasty may be more suitable.

Because the nasal bones are left intact, bruising is often lighter than after full rhinoplasty.

BAPRAS explains that the nasal tip is slow to settle, with about 60% of the change visible by three weeks and the rest over months up to a year, and swelling at the tip is often the last to go.

A splint is usually worn for about a week, and knocks and strenuous exercise are avoided for a few weeks.

Fit-to-fly window: UK aviation guidance gives no figure for cosmetic surgery, so book the flight after the surgeon's wound review and walk regularly on board.

A Delhi estimate for tip plasty is usually built from these parts:

• Tests before surgery: blood tests, ECG and anaesthetic review.
• Operating theatre and anaesthesia: billed largely by time in theatre.
• Surgeon grade: fees vary with the plastic surgeon's experience.
• GST: may apply, as cosmetic surgery is not exempt healthcare.
• Open or closed: the approach.
• Cartilage grafts: if needed.
• Anaesthesia: local or general.
• Review visits: splint removal.

Cosmetic surgery in Delhi is usually self-paid. Check whether the quote covers GST, the anaesthetist, garments and review appointments.

Delhi has a wide choice of plastic surgery practices in hospitals and day-care clinics; for operations under general anaesthesia, a hospital with an intensive care unit on site gives a safety back-up.

India's national hospital standard is set by the National Accreditation Board for Hospitals & Healthcare Providers (NABH), a constituent board of the Quality Council of India whose standards are accredited by ISQua; you can check a Delhi hospital's current NABH status on the NABH website.

Before booking cosmetic surgery in Delhi, you can check that the surgeon appears on the National Medical Commission's Indian Medical Register and ask for the doctor's medical council registration number.

Ask the hospital's international patient desk, where one exists, whether it provides the hospital letter for the e-Medical visa application, airport pickup, interpreters and help with nearby accommodation.
