Anastasija Ražnatović and her rhinoplasty: what she said herself

In that photo going around, my nose looks like it stretches all the way to Batajnica.”) She went on, in the same interview quoted by Mondo, to explain her reasoning more fully: “Neću sada da pričam da sam imala devijaciju pa sam morala, nisam zbog toga uradila, okej, imala sam i devijaciju, ali… Prosto sam želela i to sam uradila, i to je to.” (“I won't say now that I had a deviation and had to do it — that's not why I did it, okay, I did have a deviation too, but… I simply wanted it, and I did it, and that's that.”)

That is all this article relies on. Ražnatović did not name a year, a clinic or a surgeon in these statements, and this article does not name any clinic or doctor and does not guess at those details. Where the text below explains how rhinoplasty is performed and what recovery involves, it describes the operation in general, not her treatment.

Instead of ignoring the picture or denying anything had changed, she gave a plain account — she had the operation once, for her own reasons, and mentioned in passing that she also had a mild deviation, without presenting that as the main justification. That kind of directness, neither apologising nor overexplaining, is exactly the tone doctors say helps take the subject out of whispered gossip and into an ordinary conversation.

It is also a reminder that online photos are an unreliable way to judge any nose shape: angle, lighting and camera lens distort proportions constantly, which is part of why she pointed out that the widely shared photo did not actually reflect how her nose looked.

Which option applies is decided by the surgeon after an examination, not from a celebrity's story. In Ražnatović's case, she described a primary, cosmetic operation, done once, with a deviation noted only as a secondary detail.

• Full nasal growth is required. The operation is only done once the nose has finished developing, generally from the late teens onward.
• Breathing is checked regardless of the reason for the consultation. If a deviated septum or chronic sinus issues are found, correcting them can be combined with the cosmetic plan in the same operation.
• A health screening is required beforehand, covering blood tests, chronic conditions, allergies and current medication.
• Contraindications include acute infections, uncontrolled chronic disease, pregnancy and breastfeeding, and blood-clotting disorders.

The tip of the nose is the slowest part to settle and keeps changing subtly for months; the final shape, including any correction of breathing, is only judged once all swelling has resolved, at 12 to 18 months.

The operation is done under general anaesthesia with one day in the inpatient unit, and the final result is assessed at 12–18 months. More details are on the rhinoplasty page.

To be clear: City Medical Centre has no connection with Anastasija Ražnatović or her treatment. Her words are quoted because she chose to address the subject publicly herself.
