Rhinoplasty reshapes the nose for facial balance and, where needed, easier breathing. Dr. Omar Farouk, our plastic and reconstructive lead with 18 years in practice, builds a 3D surgical plan you review before you ever travel, then operates at an accredited Cairo theatre. Indicative all-in price from $2,500, confirmed after your online assessment.

Who this is for

Rhinoplasty suits adults whose facial growth is complete and who are in good general health — whether the goal is a refined bridge and tip, correcting a previous result (revision), or improving breathing alongside appearance. Share photos and any breathing concerns on WhatsApp; Dr. Farouk discusses what's realistic before you book, and is direct if a non-surgical refinement or a staged plan suits you better.

What’s included in your CURE PASS price

Every element below is agreed in writing before you travel, so there are no surprise add-ons once you land in Cairo.

  • Surgeon fee. Dr. Farouk’s consultation, your 3D plan session and the surgery itself.
  • Theatre & anaesthesia. An accredited operating theatre, a board-certified anaesthesiologist and monitored recovery.
  • Accommodation. Seven nights in a comfortable 4-star hotel, timed around your splint-removal review.
  • Transfers. Every airport, hotel and clinic journey in a private car.
  • Coordinator & translation. An Arabic- and English-speaking coordinator throughout, plus remote follow-up once you’re home.

Before you travel: what to prepare

Sending the right information early lets Dr. Farouk give you an honest, specific opinion rather than a generic one.

  • Clear photos of your face from the front, both profiles and a three-quarter angle, in good light.
  • Any breathing difficulties you experience, and whether they're worse on one side.
  • If this is a revision, details and, if possible, records from your previous surgery.
  • Whether you smoke — this affects healing and is discussed honestly before you book.
  • Your passport details and preferred travel window, so your coordinator can align surgery and recovery days.

Dr. Farouk reviews your photos personally and discusses a realistic 3D plan with you before any price is confirmed.

Your day-by-day journey

  • Day 1. Arrival, hotel check-in, in-person consultation confirming your 3D plan.
  • Day 2. Surgery under general anaesthesia (roughly 150 minutes), then a few hours of monitored recovery before returning to the hotel.
  • Days 3-5. Rest, with daily nurse checks, swelling management and the splint kept dry.
  • Day 6. Splint and cast removed; Dr. Farouk reviews early healing.
  • Day 7. Final check, written aftercare plan, transfer to the airport.

Once the splint is off and your surgeon confirms sun exposure is safe, some patients extend the trip by a few calm days on the Red Sea before flying home — a good option if bruising has largely settled and you want a gentler re-entry than a direct flight home.

Recovery timeline and when you can fly

Visible bruising and most swelling settle over the first two weeks; the splint comes off around day six and most patients fly home around day seven, once cleared. The final refined shape continues to define over the following six to twelve months as residual swelling resolves — this is normal and expected, not a sign of an unfinished result.

Travelling with a companion

Many patients bring a partner, parent or friend, especially for a procedure under general anaesthesia — it’s entirely optional, but often makes the first day or two easier. Your coordinator books their hotel room alongside yours, arranges their airport transfer, and can include a companion in the pre-op consultation if you’d like a second set of ears for the details. There’s no extra clinic fee for a companion attending consultations, only their own travel and accommodation costs.

Risks and how we manage them

As with any surgery under general anaesthesia, risks include bruising and swelling, infection, minor asymmetry, and changes in breathing sensation; a small proportion of cases need a minor revision. These are managed with a board-certified anaesthesiologist, a sterile accredited theatre, a 3D plan built around your anatomy to reduce surprises, and honest counselling on what revision would involve if ever needed.

How your treatment plan comes together

Nothing is booked until you have a written plan and a firm price in hand. Dr. Farouk personally reviews your photos and 3D plan before anything is confirmed. Here is what actually happens, step by step.

  • Step 1 — Send your details. Photos, scans or a short description of your situation, sent on WhatsApp.
  • Step 2 — Clinical review. Your case is reviewed and you receive an honest first opinion, usually within a day or two.
  • Step 3 — Written plan and price. A specific plan for your rhinoplasty, with a firm all-in price — no deposit needed to receive this.
  • Step 4 — Book your dates. Your coordinator lines up flights, hotel and the clinic schedule around you.
  • Step 5 — Treatment and recovery. Roughly 7 days in Egypt, coordinated from arrival to departure.
  • Step 6 — Stay in touch. Remote follow-up continues once you're home, for as long as you need it.

You can pause or stop at any step — nothing obligates you to travel until you choose to book.

Questions to ask any clinic before you book

  • Is the surgeon board-certified in plastic surgery, and will they operate personally?
  • Can I see a 3D simulation of my own face before committing?
  • What anaesthesia and monitoring standard is used, and by whom?
  • What does the price include — and what happens if a minor revision is needed?
  • How many rhinoplasty cases has this surgeon performed, and can I see real, consented results?

Frequently asked questions

Why does rhinoplasty cost less in Egypt? +

You get the same board-certified surgical standard, theatre safety protocols and imported implants where used, at a price reflecting lower clinic overheads and a favourable exchange rate — bundled into one transparent figure covering theatre, hotel and aftercare.

Open or closed technique — which will I have? +

Dr. Farouk chooses based on your anatomy and goal, discussed and agreed at your consult alongside your 3D plan. Closed leaves no visible scar; open gives more control for complex tip work or revision cases.

How long is recovery and when can I fly home? +

The splint comes off around day six and most patients fly home around day seven. Visible bruising settles over the first two weeks, while the refined shape continues to define over the following months.

Will the result look natural? +

That's the goal — a nose in balance with your face, not an obvious "operated" look. You review and approve a 3D plan built around your own features before you ever travel.

What if I need a revision later? +

Minor revisions are uncommon but possible with any rhinoplasty, anywhere. Dr. Farouk explains this honestly at your consult, and your coordinator stays reachable to discuss options if it's ever needed.

Can I combine rhinoplasty with other cosmetic procedures? +

Sometimes, depending on your health and the combined anaesthesia time — this is assessed case by case. Mention any other procedures you're considering on WhatsApp so Dr. Farouk can advise what's safe to combine.
