Your path to the perfect nose: from dream to reality
A complete guide from first consultation to recovery
Consultation and nose modelling
Your doctor assesses the nose, discusses what you'd like and conducts the necessary checks to choose the best correction approach
Pre-surgery check-up
Pre-surgery, you need complete lab testing: complete blood count, biochemistry, coagulation panel, a chest X-ray and a sinus X-ray
The surgery
The surgeon performs rhinoplasty with the chosen method under general or local anaesthesia, reshaping the nose
Step-by-step surgical process
Rhinoplasty begins with an individual consultation, 3D modelling of the nose and an evaluation of the septum and breathing. Once pre-op preparation is complete — tests, a CT scan and specialist consultations — the patient proceeds to surgery.
- Anaesthesia — we use TIVA (intravenous anaesthesia) or classic general anaesthesia, matched to complexity
- Access — the surgeon selects the open technique (an external incision on the columella) or the closed one (all incisions inside the nose)
- Bone and cartilage correction — using an ultrasonic piezo device to minimise trauma to tissue and vessels
- Forming the new nose — tissue is trimmed or a graft is inserted; the bridge, tip, nostrils or septum are reshaped as planned
- Sutures — suture material used is atraumatic, self-absorbing or cosmetic
- Fixation — packing and an external splint are placed to stabilise the shape
Inpatient stay
All procedures are done in the clinic's inpatient unit, where you remain for one day after surgery
Recovery period
Following surgery you undergo a recovery course with swelling relief, nose monitoring and care recommendations. Complete healing takes roughly 4 months on average; first visible results come after two weeks
Post-op check-ups
Before the year ends, you can have a free post-op consultation with our plastic surgeon. During the check-up the doctor assesses the rhinoplasty result, tracks recovery and answers all your questions

Preparing for nose surgery
Start your preparation 21 days before rhinoplasty for a successful surgery. At your first appointment, our plastic surgeon provides a list of tests.
CBC (complete blood count) with ESR, differential, platelets
Urinalysis
Infection checks — HIV, HBsAg, anti-HCV, Treponema pallidum antibodies
Blood type and Rh factor
Blood biochemistry including total protein; urea; uric acid; creatinine; glucose; bilirubin (total, direct, indirect); ALT; AST; K; Na; Cl; cholesterol

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
- Avoid foods that cause swelling — salty, fatty, fried and spicy dishes; stop drugs that affect blood clotting (agree this with your doctor)
- Limit physical activity
- Avoid cosmetic treatments that damage the skin: 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
- At least 6 hours before the scheduled time on the day of surgery, stop all food and drink
- If you have chronic conditions or are under regular specialist care, you need a specialist's clearance for elective surgery under general anaesthesia
Recovery after rhinoplasty: stages and advice
After nose surgery, recovery is just as vital as the procedure. Proper recovery decides how aesthetic and harmonious your final result will look. City Medical Centre keeps a close eye on recovery, which runs in three phases: early, middle and late
Early phase
- For the initial 24 hours post-rhinoplasty, the patient stays in the inpatient unit under observation
- Days 1–3: you breathe orally, as the nostrils contain splints
- Swelling shows up; congestion and bruising are possible
- Day 7: splints are removed. You keep the aluminium splint up to 14 days; stitches are taken out with it on day 14
- No bending over, touching your nose or wearing glasses
Middle phase
- Swelling eases over time, but the tip and bridge can stay puffy
- A month off exercise, bathhouse, sauna, pool, hot baths and the sun
- Sleep only on your back, half-sitting
- Avoid glasses and makeup around the nose
Late phase
- For 1–1.5 months after nose surgery you may feel mild congestion
- 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 recover faster and achieve an ideal result after rhinoplasty, we recommend
- 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
Nose surgery is a popular and well-established aesthetic procedure, but it carries certain risks like any other surgery. To minimise possible complications after rhinoplasty, our clinic arranges thorough preparation before and monitoring after the operation.
Possible complications after surgery
Swelling and bruising
A normal body reaction, but excessive cases need monitoring
Bleeding
May occur in the first days, especially 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 arise from excessive removal of tissue 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. A doctor's skill and experience are central to safe rhinoplasty.
- Full diagnostics before surgery. Made up of tests, CT, ECG and surgeon and anaesthetist exams.
- Follow the recovery regime. Do not take off the dressing yourself or touch your nose; avoid sport, sun, alcohol and smoking.
- Antibiotic prophylaxis. Prescribed when indicated to prevent infection.
- Follow-up visits. Seeing your surgeon on a regular basis spots small deviations and corrects them early.
- Psychological readiness. Patients must realise the final result is seen only after 1–1.5 years.
Important: if breathing is hard, pain is severe, fever is high or the shape changes after rhinoplasty, get in touch with your doctor straight away.
Rhinoplasty at City Medical Centre is performed with modern equipment, safe materials and constant supervision by doctors, minimising the chance of complications.

Rhinoplasty:
frequently asked questions
When is the best time for rhinoplasty?
Optimal age: 18 to 45. The nose is fully formed by this time, and tissues still heal well. Where medically indicated, surgery can be performed at an older age if your general health allows
How do I prepare for rhinoplasty?
To prepare, you'll have consultations with the plastic surgeon, lab tests (CBC, biochemistry, coagulation, infection tests), an ECG, a chest X-ray and an X-ray or CT of the nose. A week before surgery, stop anticoagulants, alcohol and smoking. Light meals the day before; nothing to eat 6 hours before surgery
Rhinoplasty vs septoplasty: what's the difference?
Rhinoplasty — surgery to transform the nose's appearance (an aesthetic aim) and improve how it works if breathing is impaired.
Septoplasty — correction of the nasal septum by surgery, restoring normal breathing with no change to the nose's outer contour.
Both surgeries are often combined, particularly when a patient has a deviated septum as well as aesthetic concerns. The result is a harmonious look and fully restored breathing. At City Medical Centre . we carry out rhinoseptoplasty — a combined operation that handles both tasks together
What are the risks of rhinoplasty?
Possible effects, as with any operation, are swelling, bruising, infection, bleeding, temporary breathing problems and small asymmetry. City Medical Centre applies modern techniques, anaesthesia and equipment to minimise risks, and provides post-op monitoring and recovery therapy
When will I see the result?
Early improvements become visible when swelling subsides (2–3 weeks); the final result of rhinoplasty is judged in 1–1.5 years, after tissues fully stabilise
Can I breathe through my nose after surgery?
In the days right after surgery, splints or swelling may partly block the nasal passages. You usually breathe fully again within 1–2 weeks, depending on your body and how extensive the surgery was
Will there be visible scars?
The closed method keeps all incisions inside, leaving no scars outside. The open method leaves a barely visible scar on the columella (the bridge between the nostrils) which fades almost completely in time. Our doctors minimise scars through microsurgical techniques and quality sutures
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?
The price of rhinoplasty at City Medical Centre is $4,200 instead of $6,000 with the current discount. First consultation: free.
What does the rhinoplasty price depend on?
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.
What does the rhinoplasty price include?
General anaesthesia surgery, a one-day inpatient stay, doctor monitoring and a free check-up afterwards. The clinic offers a lifetime guarantee on the result.
How much is a consultation?
Your first visit to City Medical Centre for a consultation is free. The doctor examines your nose and facial proportions and names the exact surgery price.

Rhinoplasty: the art of harmony and function
Rhinoplasty (nose job) —
one of the most popular and most delicate plastic surgeries, aimed at a nose shape that matches the individual proportions of the nose and the whole face. Modern rhinoplasty is complex surgical work — not just changing the nose's appearance — that strives for an aesthetic ideal without harming health.
What is rhinoplasty, or nose reshaping surgery?
In its essence, rhinoplasty is a comprehensive solution. It addresses congenital and acquired nasal deformities, including cases after a nasal injury. Typical concerns are a dorsal hump or an overly wide nose. Correction may also concentrate on the nasal tip (tip rhinoplasty) or the nostrils (alar rhinoplasty). An individual surgery plan is prepared for every patient, based on all features of the nose.
How is the surgery performed?
Under general anaesthesia, rhinoplasty takes from 1.5 to 3 hours depending on complexity. There are two main approaches: open and closed. The open technique involves a small incision on the columella (the tissue between the nostrils), which gives the surgeon a full view of all structures of the nose. The closed technique is performed through incisions within the nose and leaves no scars that can be seen.
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
After surgery the nose requires care. An aluminium splint goes on the outside and special silicone splints are placed inside. Nasal function is restricted during the first days but returns quickly. The final rhinoplasty result can be evaluated in 1–1.5 years, when swelling has fully subsided.
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.
Instead of just searching the web for rhinoplasty photos, book a consultation to discuss what modern rhinoplasty can and cannot do for you. We specialise in correcting external nasal deformities and nose reshaping.

Rhinoplasty in Austin step by step
Rhinoplasty covers several procedures. Tip rhinoplasty targets the nasal tip, alar rhinoplasty the nostrils, septorhinoplasty the septum together with the outer shape, and revision surgery corrects an earlier unsuccessful result. Revision is more complex and is done no earlier than a year after the primary operation. The plan for each person from Austin is built around their anatomy and wishes.
First visible results appear after about two weeks, and full healing takes around four months on average. The nose settles into its final shape over 1–1.5 years, so seeing your surgeon during this period matters. Until the end of the year, Austin patients can have a free post-op consultation where the doctor evaluates the outcome, monitors recovery and answers questions.
How much is a nose job in Austin? The base price is $4,200 for the full package — from the operation itself to follow-up visits and dressings. The final amount depends on the extent of surgery and is set once the surgeon has examined your nose and facial proportions. Leave your name and phone number, and a coordinator will book your free consultation.
