Over the past couple of years I'd occasionally notice the length of my nose and always felt like it hid my smile, so it occurred to me I could shorten it. I also had a small bump that didn't really bother me, but once I'd decided, I did everything together... The eyelid surgery took 45 minutes total, and the nose took an hour.

What did Natali Rade say about her nose surgery?

Rade, known for her openness with followers, told Net.hr: “Zadnjih par godina primijetila bih tu i tamo dužinu svog nosa i uvijek mi se činilo kao da mi zaklanja osmijeh i ustvari mi je palo na pamet da bih ga mogla skratiti. Imala sam i malu grbicu koja mi i nije smetala, ali kada sam već donijela odluku, onda sam napravila sve u kompletu kako treba, kroz savjete s doktorom. ... Operacije kapaka je sve skupa trajala 45 minuta, a nosa sat vremena.” (“Over the past couple of years I'd occasionally notice the length of my nose and always felt like it hid my smile, so it occurred to me I could shorten it. I also had a small bump that didn't really bother me, but once I'd decided, I did everything together properly, following the doctor's advice. ... The eyelid surgery took 45 minutes in total, and the nose took an hour.”) The Net.hr interview, published 12 February 2026, describes both procedures as recent: Rade said she was still waiting for the cast to come off her nose and was adjusting to her new eyelids day by day, which places the operation in early 2026.

Why her openness matters

What stands out in Rade's interview is how ordinary she made the decision sound: a small bump she had never minded, and a nose length that she felt hid her smile on camera, rather than a dramatic complaint. She also said she combined it with eyelid surgery in one trip to the operating theatre because she had already decided to go through the recovery once.

How rhinoplasty is done today, alone or combined with another procedure

Rhinoplasty reshapes the cartilage and bone framework of the nose through small incisions, usually hidden inside the nostrils or along the natural fold at the base. When a patient, like Rade, also wants eyelid surgery, the two can be scheduled in the same session to avoid two separate recovery periods, provided the combined operating time and anaesthesia plan are judged safe for that patient.

Who is a candidate and how to prepare

People consider rhinoplasty for a bump, length or tip shape they have lived with for years without it bothering them much, until, as Rade described, it starts standing out on camera or in photos.

What recovery looks like

A splint protects the nose for about a week after surgery, and the first days bring swelling and bruising, which is normal — Rade said the hardest part for her was simply having to rest and let her mother help with everyday tasks. Once the splint comes off, most of the visible bruising has faded, though the nose itself is still swollen.

What recovery looks like

How recovery after rhinoplasty usually goes

  1. Day of surgeryGeneral anaesthesia, a splint is fitted; one day in the inpatient unit.
  2. Days 1–7Splint stays on; swelling and bruising are normal; rest at home.
  3. About week 2Splint is removed; most external bruising has faded.
  4. Weeks 3–4Visible swelling drops enough to feel comfortable in public.
  5. Months 2–3Tip swelling keeps fading slowly; shape keeps settling.
  6. Months 12–18The final shape of the nose can be judged.
