Rhinoplasty reshapes your nose to improve facial harmony, correct breathing problems, or repair injury damage. Surgeons adjust the bone, cartilage, and soft tissue to create a nose that fits your facial proportions.
Thailand attracts patients worldwide for rhinoplasty because you get skilled surgeons trained internationally, modern facilities, and costs 60-75% lower than Western countries. The procedures use the same techniques and technology you'd find in the US or Australia, but you'll pay $2,000-$4,000 instead of $8,000-$15,000.
This guide covers costs at Bangkok's top hospitals, surgical techniques from traditional open rhinoplasty to Thailand's proprietary SSTP method, implant options, and how to plan your trip. You'll understand exactly what to expect and what you'll pay.

Rhinoplasty modifies the structure of your nose by reshaping bone and cartilage. Surgeons can reduce a prominent hump, refine a bulbous tip, narrow wide nostrils, straighten a crooked nose, or improve breathing through functional adjustments. The procedure addresses both aesthetic concerns and medical issues like a deviated septum that blocks airflow.
During surgery, your surgeon accesses the nasal structure through internal incisions (closed technique) or with a small external incision at the base (open technique). They then reshape bone and cartilage, potentially adding implants or grafts for augmentation. The specific approach depends on your anatomy, goals, and what needs correction.
Bangkok surgeons offer several surgical approaches, each suited to different anatomical needs and aesthetic goals. Understanding these techniques helps you have informed discussions with surgeons about which method achieves your desired results.
Open rhinoplasty creates a small inverted-V incision across the columella (the tissue strip between nostrils). This external incision allows surgeons to lift the skin and access the entire nasal framework with maximum visibility. The approach works best for complex cases requiring significant structural changes, major tip refinement, or revision surgery where previous work needs correction.
Recovery takes slightly longer than closed techniques because more tissue gets elevated, but results justify the extra healing time for complicated cases.
Open rhinoplasty handles crooked noses, severe humps, significant asymmetry, major tip surgery, and most revision cases. Surgeons at Yanhee and Wansiri regularly perform open procedures for international patients.
Closed rhinoplasty places all incisions inside the nostrils, leaving no external scars. Surgeons work through the nostril openings to reshape bone and cartilage without lifting the nasal skin extensively. This approach causes less tissue trauma, results in faster healing, and produces minimal swelling compared to open techniques.
The technique works well for patients needing moderate augmentation, modest tip refinement, or straightforward dorsal adjustments. Good candidates already have decent nasal structure that needs enhancement rather than major reconstruction. Wansiri Hospital recommends closed rhinoplasty for patients satisfied with their general nose shape who want to add height and dimension through implants.
SSTP (Silicon Soft Tissue Plastic) is Vincent Clinic's proprietary technique that performs rhinoplasty through two internal incisions in the nasal cavity without any external cuts. The method creates more working space than traditional closed rhinoplasty while avoiding open technique's columellar incision. Surgeons can place larger implants and perform detailed tip work through the internal approach.
Vincent developed SSTP to combine closed rhinoplasty's quick recovery with open rhinoplasty's precision. The technique includes interdomal stitching to lift and refine the nasal tip, creating the pointed, elevated look many patients want. Because all work happens internally, you avoid external scarring entirely while still achieving comprehensive results.
The approach suits patients who want significant augmentation or tip refinement but prefer avoiding visible scars. Vincent's surgeons have performed tens of thousands of SSTP procedures and handle revision cases where other techniques failed. The clinic's 3D imaging system lets you preview SSTP results before surgery, showing exactly how your nose will look from multiple angles.
Recovery happens faster than open rhinoplasty. Most swelling resolves within 2 weeks, and you can return to normal activities (excluding heavy exercise) within days. Vincent Clinic pioneered this technique in Thailand and remains the only facility offering true SSTP rhinoplasty.
Ultrasonic rhinoplasty uses piezoelectric devices that vibrate at ultrasonic frequencies to cut bone with pinpoint accuracy. The tool affects only hard tissue (bone), leaving soft tissue, cartilage, and blood vessels completely untouched. This precision reduces trauma dramatically compared to traditional surgical instruments.
Yanhee International Hospital offers piezo rhinoplasty at 145,000 THB (~$4,600 USD). The technique produces less bruising and swelling because blood vessels stay intact during bone reshaping. Patients often look presentable within 7-10 days instead of the 2-3 weeks needed with conventional methods. The precision also creates smoother bone edges and better symmetry, contributing to more natural-looking results.
The technology works best for patients needing bone work—reducing a dorsal hump, narrowing wide nasal bones, or correcting asymmetry. It doesn't offer major advantages for soft tissue work or cartilage grafting. Cost runs about 40% higher than traditional rhinoplasty because the equipment is expensive and requires specialized training.
Revision rhinoplasty corrects issues from previous nose surgery—asymmetry, breathing problems, implant complications, or results that don't match expectations. The procedure is technically demanding because surgeons work with scar tissue, altered anatomy, and sometimes depleted cartilage reserves from the original surgery.
Revision cases sometimes require rib cartilage grafts when nasal or ear cartilage was depleted during initial surgery. This adds complexity and cost but provides strong, permanent structural support. It is recommended to wait 6-12 months after your original surgery before attempting revisions, giving tissue time to heal fully and settle.

Your choice of implant material affects the feel, appearance, longevity, and risk profile of your rhinoplasty. Bangkok surgeons work with both synthetic implants and natural tissue grafts.
Your surgeon recommends implant type based on your anatomy, skin thickness, desired changes, and personal preferences. Many successful rhinoplasties combine materials—for example, silicone for the bridge with ear cartilage for tip refinement. During your consultation, ask to see before-and-after photos using your preferred implant type so you understand realistic outcomes.
Most rhinoplasty patients spend 7-9 days in Thailand, though you can extend the stay if combining procedures or touring. Here's a typical timeline.
Days 1-2: Arrival and Consultation
Arrive in Bangkok and settle into accommodation near your chosen hospital.
Your first day includes consultation with the surgeon. They'll examine your nose, discuss goals, take photos from multiple angles, and explain recommended techniques. Vincent Clinic or Wansiri will also perform 3D facial scanning to show projected results.
Pre-operative bloodwork and health screening happen same-day or next morning. Labs check blood count, clotting factors, and screen for infections. You'll meet the anesthesiologist who reviews your medical history and explains anesthesia protocol.
Day 3: Surgery Day
Arrive at the hospital 2-3 hours before scheduled surgery. You'll change into surgical gowns and an IV line gets placed for medications and fluids. The anesthesiologist administers general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation depending on procedure complexity.
Surgery takes 1-3 hours depending on technique and changes needed. Open rhinoplasty and complex cases run longer. SSTP and simple closed techniques finish faster. After surgery, you wake in recovery where nurses monitor you for 1-2 hours before transfer to your room.
Most hospitals keep rhinoplasty patients overnight for observation, especially if you had open surgery or ultrasonic bone work. Yanhee includes 2 nights hospital stay with their rhinoplasty packages. Nurses check on you regularly, provide pain medication, and help you manage nasal packing if used.
Days 4-6: Initial Recovery
Swelling and bruising peak on days 2-3, then gradually improve. You'll wear a nasal splint (small metal or plastic shield) that protects your nose and holds everything in position. Don't remove this splint—it's essential for proper healing.
Sleep with head elevated on 2-3 pillows to reduce swelling. Apply cold compresses around (not on) your nose for 20 minutes several times daily. Avoid blowing your nose, bending over, heavy lifting, or any activity that increases blood pressure. Most patients feel well enough for light walking and sightseeing by day 4-5 if they avoid strenuous activity.
Day 7-8: Splint Removal and Suture Removal
The splint comes off 5-7 days post-surgery. This appointment shows your new nasal shape for the first time, though significant swelling still obscures final results. External sutures (open rhinoplasty) get removed at this visit. Internal sutures dissolve on their own.
Your nose will be swollen and possibly bruised, especially around the eyes if bone work was performed. This is completely normal. You can start wearing makeup to cover bruising if desired. The surgeon provides detailed aftercare instructions for the coming weeks.
Day 9: Departure
Most patients fly home once the splint is removed and surgeon confirms healing is progressing normally. You're cleared for air travel but should still avoid strenuous activity, contact sports, and heavy lifting for another 4-6 weeks.
Some patients prefer staying 10-14 days to see more swelling reduction before flying. This is personal preference rather than medical necessity.
Many patients combine rhinoplasty with eyelid surgery, chin augmentation, or facial contouring since they're already in Thailand. This saves travel costs and recovery time. However, combining procedures extends surgery time, increases swelling, and may prolong hospital stay. Discuss combination surgery during your initial consultation so the surgeon can plan appropriately.
Rhinoplasty demands both artistic vision and technical precision. Your surgeon's experience directly impacts your results and satisfaction. Here's what to look for:
Red Flags to Avoid
Trust your instincts. If something feels wrong during consultation or you don't connect with the surgeon, explore other options. You're entrusting your face to this person, comfort and confidence matter as much as credentials.
Planning rhinoplasty in Thailand involves coordinating multiple elements: hospital selection, surgeon matching, pricing, travel logistics, and post-operative support. Konkai simplifies this process.
