Open Rhinoplasty in Islamabad —
Results That Look Completely Natural
Open rhinoplasty is the gold standard nose surgery technique for complex reshaping — giving our surgeons full visibility and maximum precision. If you want significant, natural-looking change to your nose, open rhinoplasty in Islamabad at JJ Aesthetics is the most reliable path.
What Is Open Rhinoplasty —
And Why Does It Matter?
Open rhinoplasty — also called open technique nose surgery — involves a small incision across the columella (the strip of tissue between your nostrils). This allows the surgeon to lift the skin and work directly on the nasal structure with full visibility.
It is the preferred technique for patients who need significant reshaping — a refined tip, a narrowed bridge, correction of asymmetry, or structural rebuilding. At JJ Aesthetics, our rhinoplasty specialists in Islamabad use the open technique for most complex nose surgeries across Pakistan.
Open Rhinoplasty
- Full visibility for surgeon
- Complex reshaping possible
- Precise tip work
- Best for significant change
- Small external scar (fades)
Closed Rhinoplasty
- No external incision
- Limited surgeon access
- Minor corrections only
- Shorter recovery
- Less precise for complex cases
- ✓Nose tip refinement — reshape, lift, narrow or define a bulbous, drooping or wide tip
- ✓Bridge reduction (hump removal) — smooth a nasal hump for a straight, elegant profile
- ✓Bridge augmentation — build up a flat or under-projected bridge for better facial balance
- ✓Nostril narrowing — reduce wide or flared nostrils to match the rest of the nose
- ✓Asymmetry correction — straighten a crooked or twisted nose for better facial symmetry
- ✓Functional improvement — correct a deviated septum or collapsed valve while reshaping
- ✓Ethnic rhinoplasty — reshape while preserving and respecting your natural ethnic features
- ✓Revision rhinoplasty — correct an unsatisfactory result from a previous nose surgery
Who Should Choose
Open Technique Rhinoplasty
Open rhinoplasty in Pakistan is recommended for patients who need more than minor change. Here are the most common cases our Islamabad rhinoplasty team treats with the open technique.
Significant Tip Reshaping Needed
Bulbous tips, drooping tips, wide tips — anything requiring precise cartilage work on the tip requires the visibility that only open rhinoplasty provides.
Nasal Hump Removal
If you have a visible bump on your bridge and want a smooth, straight or slightly curved profile, open rhinoplasty gives surgeons the control needed.
Crooked or Asymmetric Nose
Correcting a nose that appears twisted, off-centre or uneven requires direct access to the nasal skeleton — which the open approach allows.
Breathing Problems Combined
If you want cosmetic improvement and better breathing from the same surgery, our ENT and plastic surgeons work together using the open technique.
Revision of a Previous Nose Job
Almost all revision rhinoplasty in Islamabad is performed via the open approach — scar tissue and altered anatomy demand maximum surgical visibility.
Comprehensive Nose Reshaping
If you want to change multiple aspects of your nose — bridge, tip and nostrils — the open technique handles all areas in one procedure.

Why Our Rhinoplasty Specialists
in Pakistan Prefer Open Rhinoplasty
The open technique gives our surgeons advantages that directly translate to better, more natural results for patients across Islamabad and Rawalpindi.
Complete Surgical Visibility
The surgeon sees the entire nasal structure — both sides simultaneously. This means more accurate symmetry and far fewer surprises during surgery.
Precise Cartilage Sculpting
Tip cartilage can be directly visualised, sutured and shaped with a level of precision that the closed approach cannot match — essential for natural results.
Grafting Is Possible
Cartilage grafts from the ear or septum can be precisely placed to add structure, support or projection — impossible to do accurately with closed technique.
The Scar Is Minimal
The columella incision is tiny and sits underneath the nose. In the vast majority of patients, it becomes virtually invisible within 6–12 months.

Open Rhinoplasty Surgery
Performed under general anaesthesia by our specialist surgeons — Dr. Naveera Rafique, Dr. Zarish Daneil, with Dr. Hathim Akash handling any functional/breathing components. Typical surgery time: 2–3 hours. Overseen by Dr. Jawad Jahangir.
First Week Recovery
A small cast protects your nose for 7–10 days. Swelling and bruising are normal and peak around day 3, then rapidly improve. Most patients are presentable and back to light activity within 10–14 days.
Final Results at 12 Months
80% of swelling resolves within the first 6–8 weeks. The remaining subtle swelling — especially in the tip — settles fully by 12 months. The columella scar fades to near-invisible in the same timeframe.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cost of open rhinoplasty in Islamabad?
Open rhinoplasty cost in Pakistan depends on the complexity of reshaping, whether cartilage grafting is required, and your surgeon. At JJ Aesthetics, Dr. Jawad Jahangir gives you a full, transparent cost breakdown during your free consultation — with no hidden fees. Contact us for current pricing.
Is open rhinoplasty better than closed rhinoplasty in Pakistan?
For significant reshaping — tip work, bridge correction, asymmetry or revision — open rhinoplasty gives surgeons greater precision and control. For minor refinements only, closed rhinoplasty may be appropriate. Our specialists will recommend the right technique for your specific goals during consultation.
Will the open rhinoplasty scar be visible?
The small incision across the columella heals remarkably well. In the vast majority of patients, the scar becomes virtually undetectable within 6–12 months. It sits underneath the nose and is not visible from the front or most angles — even close up.
How long is recovery after open rhinoplasty in Islamabad?
Most patients return to normal daily life and light work within 10–14 days. Social swelling (noticeable puffiness) resolves within 4–6 weeks for most people. Final results are fully visible at 12 months. We guide you through every stage of recovery.
Do you have a female open rhinoplasty surgeon in Islamabad?
Yes. Dr. Naveera Rafique is our specialist female plastic and cosmetic surgeon who performs open rhinoplasty. Many of our female patients in Islamabad and Rawalpindi prefer a female surgeon — she is experienced, highly skilled and available on request.
Can open rhinoplasty fix my nose and breathing at the same time?
Absolutely — this is one of the biggest advantages of open technique nose surgery. Dr. Hathim Akash, our ENT specialist, works alongside our plastic surgeons to correct functional breathing issues (deviated septum, collapsed valves) in the same operation as your cosmetic reshaping.
