Rhinoplasty (Nose Job) in Abeokuta

The optimal age range is 18 to 45. The nose is fully formed by then and tissues still heal well. At an older age, surgery is possible with medical indications if your general health allows it

Rhinoplasty is basically a comprehensive solution. Congenital and acquired nasal deformities, for instance after a nasal injury, are both corrected. What often bothers patients is a dorsal hump or an overly wide nose. Correction may likewise target the nasal tip (tip rhinoplasty) or the nostrils (alar rhinoplasty). Each surgery plan is created individually, with all features of the patient's nose taken into account.

Rhinoplasty is carried out under general anaesthesia, with a duration of 1.5 to 3 hours depending on complexity. Two main approaches are used: open rhinoplasty and closed rhinoplasty. Open rhinoplasty includes a small cut on the columella (the tissue between the nostrils), so the surgeon has a full view of all nasal structures. Closed rhinoplasty is performed via incisions inside the nose and leaves no visible scarring.

Your surgeon chooses the technique according to your goals. For example, the open approach is often required to correct an upturned nose or perform complex reshaping of the nasal bones and bridge.

Rhinoplasty — surgery that changes how the nose looks (for aesthetic reasons) and improves its function if breathing is affected.
Septoplasty — surgery to correct the nasal septum and restore normal breathing, keeping the nose's external contour intact.
Both operations are often performed together, especially where a deviated septum meets aesthetic concerns, giving a harmonious look and full breathing again. At City Medical Centre . we do rhinoseptoplasty — a combined operation that solves both tasks in one step

Getting ready involves consultations with the plastic surgeon, lab work (CBC, biochemistry, coagulation, infection tests), ECG, chest X-ray, plus a nasal X-ray or CT. A week ahead, give up anticoagulants, alcohol and smoking. The day before — light food; no food 6 hours before surgery

As in any surgery, possible effects include swelling, bruising, infection, bleeding, temporary breathing problems and minor asymmetry. City Medical Centre reduces risks through modern techniques, anaesthesia and equipment, post-op monitoring and recovery therapy

Swelling subsides and first improvements appear (2–3 weeks), but judging the final rhinoplasty result is possible in 1–1.5 years, when tissues fully settle

Early after surgery the nasal passages may be partially blocked by splints or swelling. Full breathing typically comes back within 1–2 weeks, depending on the extent of surgery and your body

In closed rhinoplasty all incisions are internal, so no external scars remain. Open rhinoplasty leaves a barely visible scar on the columella (the bridge between the nostrils) that fades almost completely with time. Our doctors use microsurgical techniques and quality sutures to keep scarring minimal

Rhinoplasty makes the face more harmonious and improves its aesthetics, without losing what makes you individual. Using 3D modelling, you see the expected result in advance and agree on changes with the surgeon

Choosing rhinoplasty is a big step. Good rhinoplasty means your new nose blends perfectly with your features and works flawlessly. The consultation includes a detailed assessment of every parameter by the surgeon: nose size, tip projection, the septum and nasal lining. We apply 3D modelling so that you can view your future nasal proportions before the rhinoplasty is performed.

The current discount brings rhinoplasty at City Medical Centre to $4,200 instead of $6,000. The first consultation is free.

What you pay depends on the extent of surgery and is agreed at the consultation — the doctor quotes the exact price once your nose and facial proportions are examined.

Surgery with general anaesthesia, one day in the inpatient unit, monitoring by the doctor and a free post-surgery check-up. The clinic provides a lifetime guarantee on the result.

The first consultation at City Medical Centre is free. The doctor examines your nose, assesses facial proportions and names the exact cost of surgery.

Following surgery, the nose requires care: an aluminium splint sits on it and special silicone splints are placed inside. Nasal function is limited in the early days but quickly recovers. Assessment of the final rhinoplasty result is possible in 1–1.5 years, after swelling has fully subsided.
