I knew my nose was a bit crooked... I sometimes felt embarrassed taking photos from my right side... This is something I wanted to do. It made me very happy. I'm very happy with the final result.
What did Mia Rose say about her rhinoplasty?
Mia Rose first mentioned the operation on Instagram, writing that it was something she had wanted for a long time, and then explained it in more detail on her YouTube channel. Notícias ao Minuto quoted her: “I knew my nose was a bit crooked. Maybe you didn't notice it that much in photos, but I knew it was crooked and I sometimes felt embarrassed taking photos from my right side.”

WhatsAppShe said it was her first plastic surgery and added: “This is something I wanted to do. It made me very happy. I'm very happy with the final result.” The video showed her nose one month after the operation. Selfie reported the same words.
That is all we rely on here. She did not describe the technique, the surgeon or other medical details in these statements, so we do not guess at them. The sections below explain rhinoplasty in general, not her operation.
Why her explanation resonated
Mia Rose did not present the operation as a dramatic transformation. She described a small asymmetry that bothered her, the side she avoided in photos, and a decision she had been thinking about for a long time. Many people considering rhinoplasty recognise exactly that: not a wish to look like someone else, but a detail they notice every day.

It is also worth noting how she talked about timing. She showed the result one month after surgery, when swelling is still present. The final shape of a nose settles much later, which is useful to know for anyone judging their own result too early.

How rhinoplasty is done today
Rhinoplasty changes the shape of the nose and, if needed, improves breathing. The main variants:
- Open rhinoplasty — a small incision on the columella (the skin between the nostrils) gives the surgeon a full view of the structures.
- Closed rhinoplasty — all incisions are inside the nose, with no visible scar.
- Tip correction and septorhinoplasty — work on the tip of the nose or shape correction combined with straightening the septum.
Where the incisions are
- Open technique
- Small incision on the columella plus inside the nose
- Closed technique
- Only inside the nose
Visible scar
- Open technique
- Small, on the columella
- Closed technique
- None

For work on bone, City Medical Centre uses an ultrasonic piezo device. Which technique suits a particular nose is decided at a consultation, not from a celebrity's story.
Who is it for, and how to prepare
People consider rhinoplasty because of a crooked or asymmetric nose, a hump, a wide or drooping tip, the consequences of an injury or difficulty breathing. The optimal age is 18–45, and older patients can be operated on if their health allows. Before surgery patients have a complete blood count, biochemistry, a coagulation panel, infection tests, an ECG, a chest X-ray and an X-ray or CT of the sinuses.
Preparation starts about 21 days before; blood-thinning drugs (only with the doctor's approval), alcohol and smoking are stopped a week before, and class 2 compression stockings are needed on the day.
Recovery step by step
The first 24 hours are spent in the clinic's inpatient unit. For the first days patients breathe through the mouth because of splints in the nostrils; swelling and bruising are possible. Nasal splints come out on day 7, the external splint and stitches by day 14. For a month there is no exercise, sauna, pool, hot baths or sun.
First improvements are visible after 2–3 weeks, healing takes about four months, and the final shape appears in 1–1.5 years. Possible risks include swelling, bruising, infection, bleeding, temporary breathing problems and minor asymmetry.
