Not happy with your nose? Convinced that a reshaping will give you better looks and greater confidence? Then you simply have to look to India for the best of rhinoplasty solutions.
It is indeed interesting to note that India has a long tradition and association with cosmetic surgery! Today, this country has made its mark in more ways than one, thanks to:
- The availability of board certified plastic surgeons.
- JCI accredited hospitals that offer cutting edge knowhow and technology.
- English speaking doctors and staff so communication channels are clear and open.
Price considerations
All these reasons and more are drawing people from countries such as USA into India. Cost effectiveness is another huge reason why people opt for medical tourism for cosmetic procedures such as rhinoplasty.
Different estimates put the cost of rhinoplasty anywhere from $6300 to $7000 whereas in India you can get it for around $1500 to $3000.
A lot would depend on the doctor, hospital, location and extent of the nose job that is to be done. You would be immensely benefitted by going with a medical tour operator who can give you consultations and a complete price plan so you can plan your trip properly.
Get information
When traveling for your rhinoplasty in India, you can expect top class treatment facilities and support. However it is useful for you to do a bit of homework before you start your journey. This homework should generate information on:
- The reputation and track record of the hospital
- Qualification and experience of the doctor
- Surgical facility where the surgery would be performed
- Information on the tests to be performed, the medical reports you should carry and the procedure itself
- Post surgical care and the recuperation period
Before the procedure
Your plastic surgeon will have a detailed consultation with you before the procedure. This consultation will revolve around information pertaining to your medical history, the allergies you may have, medications that you may be taking and even the previous surgeries you may have had.
The anatomical structure of your nose will also be studied in great detail. All of which will help in selecting the right kind of procedure which will result in perfect facial balance and a more natural curve to your nose as well.
After the procedure
You would stay at the hospital for a day and have a cast on the nose for a week. The cast and stitches would be removed after about a week and you would be allowed to travel back to your country. It is normal to have swelling around the nose for a couple of weeks, while the final results would take around 6 months to may be a year.
