“Nose job” is the everyday word for rhinoplasty — the surgical procedure that reshapes the nose. People consider a nose job in Lahore for many reasons: a dorsal hump they have always disliked, a tip that droops or looks wide, asymmetry from an old injury, or simply a profile that does not feel like their own. In some cases the goals are functional too, such as easier breathing. Whatever the reason, a nose job is precise, permanent surgery — which is why it should be performed by a qualified plastic surgeon, not chosen on price alone. At Beauty Up Aesthetics, rhinoplasty is performed by Prof. Dr. Mufassar Nishat Rana (FCPS Plastic Surgery).
What Does a Nose Job Involve?
Rhinoplasty reshapes the bone and cartilage that give the nose its form. Depending on the plan agreed at consultation, the surgeon may reduce a hump, refine the tip, narrow the bridge, straighten the profile, or adjust the nostrils — always with the goal of a nose that suits the rest of the face rather than drawing attention to itself. The procedure is performed under anaesthesia, usually takes 1.5 to 3 hours, and most patients go home the same day. For the full medical overview, see our rhinoplasty in Lahore page.
Open vs Closed Rhinoplasty
There are two standard approaches, and the choice depends on what needs to be done: Open rhinoplasty uses a small incision across the columella (the strip of skin between the nostrils), allowing the surgeon to lift the skin and see the underlying structure directly. It is preferred for complex reshaping, significant asymmetry, or revision cases. Closed rhinoplasty places all incisions inside the nostrils, so there is no external scar at all. It suits more limited refinements and generally involves slightly less swelling and a shorter initial recovery. Your surgeon will recommend the approach that gives the safest, most predictable result for your anatomy.
Nose Job Cost in Lahore
Rhinoplasty pricing in Lahore reflects the complexity of the case and the surgeon’s qualification. Reference ranges at established clinics are:
| Procedure | Typical range (PKR) |
|---|---|
| Primary rhinoplasty | 150,000 – 250,000 |
| Complex / revision rhinoplasty | 200,000 – 300,000 |
| Limited tip refinement | Quoted individually |
A final quote is always given after the surgical assessment. The quote should clearly state what is included — surgeon’s fee, facility and anaesthesia charges, and follow-up visits.
Recovery Timeline: What to Expect
Week 1: A nasal splint is worn; swelling and bruising around the eyes are normal and peak in the first few days. Rest and head elevation help. Weeks 2–4: The splint comes off; most bruising resolves. Desk work and light routine can usually resume, though strenuous activity waits. Months 1–3: Swelling continues to settle; the new shape becomes increasingly clear. Months 6–12: Final refinement as residual swelling resolves, particularly at the tip. Your surgeon provides detailed aftercare instructions and schedules follow-up reviews to monitor healing.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a nose job take?
The surgery itself usually takes 1.5 to 3 hours depending on complexity. Most patients are discharged the same day.
Will there be a visible scar after a nose job?
Closed rhinoplasty leaves no external scar. Open rhinoplasty leaves a small scar under the nose that typically fades to near-invisible over months.
Is a nose job painful?
The procedure is done under anaesthesia, so there is no pain during surgery. Afterwards, most patients describe pressure and congestion rather than sharp pain, managed with prescribed medication for the first few days.
At what age can I have rhinoplasty?
Surgeons generally recommend waiting until facial growth is complete — usually around 16–17 for young women and 17–18 for young men — assessed individually at consultation.
