Your path to the perfect nose: from dream to reality
A complete guide from first consultation to recovery
Consultation and nose modelling
The doctor assesses your nose, discusses your wishes and runs the necessary checks to choose the best correction method
Pre-surgery check-up
You must complete full lab testing before surgery: complete blood count, biochemistry, coagulation panel, X-rays of the chest and sinuses
The surgery
The surgeon reshapes the nose with the chosen technique, working under general or local anaesthesia
Step-by-step surgical process
The first step is a personal consultation with 3D modelling of the nose and an assessment of the septum and breathing. Next is pre-op preparation — tests, a CT scan, specialist consultations — and then the surgery itself.
- Anaesthesia — TIVA (intravenous) or classic general anaesthesia, selected according to complexity
- Access — the surgeon opts for the open approach (external cut on the columella) or the closed one (incisions only inside the nose)
- Correcting bone and cartilage — an ultrasonic piezo device keeps trauma to tissue and vessels minimal
- Creating the new shape — excess tissue is removed or grafted tissue added, and the bridge, tip, nostrils or septum reshaped
- Sutures — the material is atraumatic, self-absorbing or cosmetic
- Fixation — the shape is stabilised with packing and an external splint
Inpatient stay
We perform all procedures in the clinic's inpatient unit. After the operation you remain there one day
Recovery period
Following surgery, you complete a course of recovery: swelling relief, nose monitoring, care advice. On average full healing needs about 4 months; the first visible results appear after two weeks
Post-op check-ups
Until year-end, our plastic surgeon offers a free post-op consultation. The doctor evaluates your rhinoplasty result at the check-up, monitors how recovery is going and answers all your questions

Preparing for nose surgery
For a successful surgery, start preparing 21 days before rhinoplasty. At the first visit our plastic surgeon will give you a list of tests.
Complete blood count: ESR, differential, platelets included
Urinalysis
Infections tested: HIV, HBsAg, anti-HCV and Treponema pallidum antibodies

After the full lab work-up — a physician's report confirming no contraindications to surgery
3–5 days before surgery you need to
- Stop smoking and drinking alcohol
- Eliminate foods that trigger swelling: salty, fatty, fried and spicy; stop taking drugs that affect blood clotting (confirm this with your doctor)
- Limit physical activity
- No skin-damaging cosmetic treatments, for example scrubs, peels, etc.
Important!
- Each test must be on a separate form
- The facility's stamp and doctor's signature are required
- Before you're admitted, get a pair of class 2 compression stockings
- On surgery day, eat and drink for the last time at least 6 hours before the scheduled time
- If you have a chronic condition or are regularly monitored by a specialist, get their clearance for elective surgery under general anaesthesia
Recovery after rhinoplasty: stages and advice
Healing after nose surgery is no less important than the surgery itself. The final result's aesthetics and harmony depend on proper recovery. At City Medical Centre recovery is closely supervised and has three phases: early, middle and late
Early phase
- During the first 24 hours after rhinoplasty, the patient is observed in the inpatient unit
- Days 1–3: splints are in the nostrils, so you breathe through your mouth
- Swelling forms; you may have nasal congestion and bruising
- Day 7: splints out. The aluminium splint remains for up to 14 days; stitches and splint both come off on day 14
- No bending over, touching your nose or wearing glasses
Middle phase
- The swelling eases gradually; the tip and bridge might still be swollen
- A month without workouts, bathhouse, sauna, pool, hot baths or sun
- Sleep only on your back, half-sitting
- Avoid glasses and makeup around the nose
Late phase
- For 1–1.5 months following nose surgery, you may feel slightly congested
- The nose takes its final shape in 1–1.5 years
- Keep seeing your surgeon during this time

What not to do after rhinoplasty
Remove dressings or splints yourself
Take hot baths or use a tanning bed
Exercise or do heavy physical work
Smoke or drink alcohol for at least a month
Press on your nose, wear glasses or sleep face down
To make recovery faster and reach an ideal result after rhinoplasty, we suggest
- Keep a regular rest and sleep routine
- Humidify the air indoors
- Take a course of microcurrent or ultrasound therapy.
- Follow the prescribed diet, avoid salty and spicy food
Complications and risk management
Rhinoplasty is one of the most popular and time-tested aesthetic procedures, but like any surgery it is not free of certain risks. To lower the chance of complications, our clinic provides careful preparation before surgery and monitoring after it.
Possible complications after surgery
Swelling and bruising
A normal body reaction, but excessive cases need monitoring
Bleeding
May develop in the early days, above all if restrictions are ignored
Infection
An extremely rare complication caused by poor hygiene
Nose shape irregularities
Asymmetry, septum shift, uneven cartilage fixation
Impaired breathing
May happen due to excess tissue removal or individual anatomy
Thick scarring
More common with open rhinoplasty and a tendency to keloids
Psychological disappointment
More common in patients with unrealistic expectations
How to avoid complications after rhinoplasty?
- Choose an experienced surgeon. The doctor's expertise and experience are vital for safe rhinoplasty.
- Full diagnostics before surgery. Made up of tests, CT, ECG and surgeon and anaesthetist exams.
- Follow the recovery regime. Never remove the dressing on your own or touch the nose; stay away from sport, sun, alcohol and cigarettes.
- Antibiotic prophylaxis. Prescribed when indicated to prevent infection.
- Surgeon follow-ups. Regular visits catch even the smallest deviations and fix them at an early stage.
- Psychological readiness. Understand that the final result will be visible in 1–1.5 years.
Important: if you have difficulty breathing, severe pain, high fever or shape changes after rhinoplasty, contact your doctor immediately.
Rhinoplasty at City Medical Centre relies on modern technology, safe materials and constant medical supervision to minimise the risk of complications.

Rhinoplasty:
frequently asked questions
When is the best time for rhinoplasty?
The recommended age is 18 to 45, when the nose is fully formed and tissues continue to heal well. Given medical indications, surgery may be done at an older age if your general health permits
How do I prepare for rhinoplasty?
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
Rhinoplasty vs septoplasty: what's the difference?
Rhinoplasty — an operation to alter the nose's appearance (an aesthetic goal) and improve its function when breathing is impaired.
Septoplasty — correction of the nasal septum by surgery, restoring normal breathing with no change to the nose's outer contour.
Frequently both surgeries are done at once, especially for a patient with a deviated septum and aesthetic concerns. That way the look is harmonious and full breathing returns. At City Medical Centre . we perform rhinoseptoplasty — a combined surgery that solves both tasks at once
What are the risks of rhinoplasty?
As with any surgery, swelling, bruising, infection, bleeding, temporary breathing problems and minor asymmetry are possible. City Medical Centre uses modern techniques, anaesthesia and equipment to minimise risks, with post-op monitoring and recovery therapy
When will I see the result?
Initial improvements are visible once swelling settles (2–3 weeks), yet the final rhinoplasty result can only be judged in 1–1.5 years, as tissues fully stabilise
Can I breathe through my nose after surgery?
During the first days after surgery, splints or swelling may partly block the nasal passages. Breathing is usually fully restored within 1–2 weeks, depending on the extent of surgery and your body
Will there be visible scars?
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
How much will rhinoplasty change my appearance?
Rhinoplasty harmonises facial features and enhances aesthetics without sacrificing individuality. Thanks to 3D modelling, you preview the predicted result and agree on the changes with your surgeon
Rhinoplasty cost at City Medical Centre?
Rhinoplasty at City Medical Centre costs $4,200 instead of $6,000 with the current discount. The first consultation is free.
What does the rhinoplasty price depend on?
The extent of surgery determines the cost, which is set at the consultation: after examining your nose and facial proportions, the doctor names the exact price.
What does the rhinoplasty price include?
Surgery under general anaesthesia, one day spent in the inpatient unit, ongoing doctor monitoring and a free post-op check-up. The clinic gives a lifetime guarantee on the result.

Rhinoplasty: the art of harmony and function
Rhinoplasty (nose job) —
among the most delicate and popular plastic surgeries, with the goal of reshaping the nose in line with the individual proportions of the nose and the entire face. Rhinoplasty today is complex surgical work rather than just a change in how the nose looks, aimed at an aesthetic ideal without harming health.
What is rhinoplasty, or nose reshaping surgery?
Fundamentally, rhinoplasty offers a comprehensive solution. It treats congenital and acquired nasal deformities alike, for example those caused by a nasal injury. Common complaints are a dorsal hump or an overly wide nose. Correction can also address the nasal tip (tip rhinoplasty) or the nostrils (alar rhinoplasty). Every patient receives an individual surgery plan that accounts for all features of the nose.
How is the surgery performed?
Depending on complexity, rhinoplasty takes 1.5 to 3 hours and is performed under general anaesthesia. There are two main approaches — open rhinoplasty and closed rhinoplasty. Open rhinoplasty is based on a small incision on the columella (the tissue between the nostrils), which lets the surgeon view all nasal structures fully. Closed rhinoplasty is done through incisions inside the nose, without visible scars.
The choice of technique is made by the surgeon based on your goals. Fixing an upturned nose or complex reshaping of the nasal bones and bridge, for example, often needs the open approach.
Recovery and results
The nose must be cared for after surgery. An aluminium splint is applied to the nose, and special silicone splints are inserted inside. The nose works in a limited way in the first days but recovers quickly. In 1–1.5 years, once swelling fully subsides, the final rhinoplasty result can be assessed.
Why trust the professionals?
Rhinoplasty is a big decision. A well-done rhinoplasty means a new nose that fits perfectly with your features and functions flawlessly. At your consultation the surgeon evaluates all parameters in detail: nose size, tip projection, the septum and nasal lining. Our 3D modelling lets you see the future proportions of your nose before rhinoplasty is performed.
Go beyond searching online for rhinoplasty photos. Book a consultation to discuss the possibilities and limits of modern rhinoplasty for you. Correcting external nasal deformities and reshaping the nose is our specialty.

Choosing rhinoplasty in Alexandria
Many people consider a nose job because of a hump, a wide bridge or a tip they want to refine; others because they cannot breathe freely. Rhinoplasty addresses both aesthetics and function. For residents of Alexandria, it is worth knowing that bone and cartilage are corrected with an ultrasonic piezo device, which keeps trauma to tissue and vessels to a minimum.
What happens after surgery? For the first day you stay under observation in the inpatient unit. Swelling gradually subsides, though the tip and bridge may remain swollen for some time. Bending over, touching the nose and wearing glasses or makeup around it are off-limits early on. The final result for patients from Alexandria can be judged after 1–1.5 years, once tissues fully stabilise.
The consultation costs nothing and gives a realistic forecast: facial proportions are assessed, a 3D model of the future nose is shown and a personal surgery and recovery plan is drawn up. After that, the fee for rhinoplasty is $4,200 with inpatient care, dressings and follow-ups included. Patients from Alexandria can book via the form or message us in any messenger.
