Feminise Your Profile with Rhinoplasty for Transwomen
If you are looking for facial harmony in your gender transition journey, you are at the right place.
The nose, being the central and most prominent facial feature, often plays a major role in gender perception. Our expert-led rhinoplasty for transwomen helps reshape, refine, and feminise the nose to match each woman’s identity, safely, naturally, and beautifully.
This procedure is not just cosmetic. It’s gender-affirming. It provides transwomen with the ability to align their outward appearance with their inner identity and helps reduce gender dysphoria related to facial features.
What Is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty, commonly referred to as a “nose job,” is a surgical procedure to reshape the nose by altering the bone, cartilage, or both. In rhinoplasty for transwomen, the focus is on achieving feminine facial characteristics, such as a narrower bridge, upward nasal tip rotation, or refined nostril shape.
Unlike traditional cosmetic rhinoplasty, transgender nose surgery is tailored to align with the goals of facial feminisation surgery (FFS).
Feminine vs. Masculine Nose Features
Noses assigned male at birth tend to have:
- A wider or higher nasal bridge
- A more prominent or droopy nasal tip
- Larger nostrils
- A bony hump (dorsal hump)
In contrast, a feminine nose is typically:
- Smaller and narrower
- Smooth and slightly upturned at the tip
- With subtle curvature and delicate contours
Through MTF nose reshaping surgery, our specialists help transwomen achieve these attributes while preserving overall facial harmony.
Our Expertise in Feminising Rhinoplasty
At Pondicherry Transgender Surgeries, we offer specialised, safe, and results-driven rhinoplasty for transwomen using the latest surgical techniques. Each procedure is highly personalised based on:
- Existing nasal structure

- Other FFS procedures being performed simultaneously
Our board-certified surgeons are experienced in gender affirming facial surgery and take pride in designing noses that complement the patient’s entire face, not just one feature.
Types of Feminising Rhinoplasty Techniques
Depending on your anatomy and goals, we may perform:
- Reduction Rhinoplasty: Decreases the size of a large nose
- Tip Plasty: Reshapes the nasal tip for a rounder, softer look
- Dorsal Hump Removal: Smoothens a bony ridge for sleek contour
- Nasal Narrowing: Refines wide nasal bones and nostrils
- Septoplasty (if needed): Corrects a deviated septum to improve breathing
Every feminising rhinoplasty in India performed at our centre combines medical precision with aesthetic finesse.
How the Procedure Works?
- Initial Consultation
We begin with a detailed analysis of your nose, face shape, and goals. Photos and morphing software may be used to visualise potential outcomes.
- Surgical Planning
Measurements are taken for bridge height, tip rotation, nostril width, and overall proportion. We plan with both aesthetics and airway function in mind.
- Surgery
Performed under general anaesthesia, the surgery lasts 1.5–3 hours. An internal (closed) or external (open) approach is chosen based on your needs.
- Recovery
Nasal splints are placed temporarily. Bruising and swelling are expected initially, with results becoming clearer in 3–6 months and the final shape seen at 12 months.
Why Choose Rhinoplasty as Part of Facial Feminisation?
Feminising rhinoplasty is often considered one of the most impactful parts of FFS. A smaller, elegant nose not only enhances other facial features but also reduces visual gender cues that may otherwise misalign with one’s identity.
Patients often choose to combine rhinoplasty with:
- Jaw refinement surgery
- Hairline advancement
- Cheek augmentation
- Brow lift or forehead contouring
Together, these procedures offer a transformative effect.
Benefits of Rhinoplasty for Transwomen
