Nose Reshaping Surgery in Akure

Ideally, patients are 18 to 45: the nose is fully formed and tissues still heal well. When there are medical indications, surgery can be done at an older age if general health allows

At its heart, rhinoplasty is a comprehensive solution. It deals with both congenital and acquired deformities of the nose, including those after a nasal injury. A dorsal hump or a nose that is too wide are frequent concerns for patients. Correction can also be aimed at the nasal tip (tip rhinoplasty) or the nostrils (alar rhinoplasty). The surgery plan is individual for every patient and reflects all features of the nose.

Performed under general anaesthesia, rhinoplasty takes 1.5 to 3 hours based on complexity. Two main approaches exist: open rhinoplasty and closed rhinoplasty. The open approach uses a small incision on the columella (the tissue between the nostrils), giving the surgeon a complete view of every nasal structure. The closed approach works through incisions inside the nose, with no visible scars left.

Technique is chosen by the surgeon in line with your goals. The open approach is often necessary, for example, when correcting an upturned nose or complex reshaping of the nasal bones and bridge.

Rhinoplasty — surgery that alters nasal appearance (an aesthetic goal) and improves nasal function when breathing is impaired.
Septoplasty — surgical correction of the nasal septum to restore normal breathing, without changing the outer contour of the nose.
Often both surgeries are combined, especially when a patient has a deviated septum and aesthetic concerns. This gives a harmonious look and restores full breathing. At City Medical Centre . we perform rhinoseptoplasty — combined surgery that deals with both tasks at once

Preparation includes consultations with the plastic surgeon, lab tests (CBC, biochemistry, coagulation, infection tests), ECG, chest X-ray, and an X-ray or CT of the nose. A week before surgery stop anticoagulants, alcohol and smoking. The day before — light meals; fast 6 hours before surgery

Swelling, bruising, infection, bleeding, temporary breathing problems and minor asymmetry can occur, as after any surgery. City Medical Centre minimises these risks with modern techniques, anaesthesia and equipment, post-op monitoring and recovery therapy

First improvements show once swelling subsides (2–3 weeks), but the final rhinoplasty result can be judged in 1–1.5 years, when tissues fully stabilise

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

Incisions in closed rhinoplasty are inside, which means no external scars. With the open approach, a barely visible columella scar (the bridge between the nostrils) remains and fades almost completely over time. Microsurgical techniques and quality sutures let our doctors keep scars minimal

Rhinoplasty improves aesthetics and makes facial features more harmonious, without loss of individuality. With 3D modelling the predicted result is visible in advance, and you agree on changes with your surgeon

Rhinoplasty is a significant step. Done well, it gives you a new nose that blends perfectly with your features and works without flaws. The surgeon assesses every parameter in detail at the consultation: nose size, tip projection, the septum and nasal lining. Thanks to 3D modelling, you see your future nasal proportions before rhinoplasty is performed.

Don't rely only on rhinoplasty photos from the internet. Book a consultation to find out what modern rhinoplasty can and cannot offer you. Reshaping the nose and correcting external nasal deformities is what we specialise in.

With the current discount, rhinoplasty at City Medical Centre costs $4,200 instead of $6,000. Your first consultation is free.

The price depends on how extensive the surgery is and is determined at the consultation: the doctor states the exact price after examining your nose and facial proportions.

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.

At City Medical Centre the first consultation costs nothing. The doctor checks your nose, assesses your facial proportions and gives the exact surgery cost.

Care of the nose is needed after surgery. An aluminium splint is fixed on the nose, with special silicone splints inside. Nasal function is reduced for the first days but recovers quickly. The final result of rhinoplasty can be assessed in 1–1.5 years, once all swelling is gone.
