Your path to the perfect nose: from dream to reality
A complete guide from first consultation to recovery
Consultation and nose modelling
The doctor evaluates your nose, listens to what you want and performs the checks needed to find the most suitable correction technique
Pre-surgery check-up
You will need full lab testing before surgery — complete blood count, biochemistry, coagulation panel, chest and sinus X-rays
The surgery
The surgeon carries out rhinoplasty using the chosen technique under local or general anaesthesia, changing the nose's shape
Step-by-step surgical process
Rhinoplasty starts with a personal consultation, 3D modelling of the nose and an assessment of the septum and breathing. After pre-op preparation, including tests, a CT scan and specialist consultations, the patient goes to surgery.
- Anaesthesia — TIVA, i.e. intravenous anaesthesia, or classic general anaesthesia, as complexity requires
- Access — open (a columella incision on the outside) or closed (all incisions placed inside the nose), at the surgeon's choice
- Bone and cartilage correction — performed with an ultrasonic piezo device, sparing tissues and vessels
- Shaping the new nose — surplus tissue is taken away or a graft is placed; the bridge, tip, nostrils or septum are reshaped
- Sutures — suture material used is atraumatic, self-absorbing or cosmetic
- Fixation — packing and an external splint hold the shape in place
Inpatient stay
All procedures are done in the clinic's inpatient unit, where you remain for one day after surgery
Recovery period
Post-surgery, you complete a recovery course that includes swelling relief, monitoring of the nose and aftercare advice. Healing is complete in about 4 months on average; first results show after two weeks
Post-op check-ups
A free post-op consultation with our plastic surgeon is available until the end of the year. During the check-up the doctor evaluates the rhinoplasty outcome, monitors recovery and answers all your questions

Urinalysis
Infection tests: HIV, HBsAg, anti-HCV, Treponema pallidum antibodies
Blood type and Rh factor

3–5 days before surgery you need to
- Stop smoking and drinking alcohol
- Cut foods that cause swelling: salty, fatty, fried and spicy food; stop medications that affect blood clotting (agree this with your doctor)
- Limit physical activity
- Pass on cosmetic treatments that damage the skin, e.g. 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
- Your last meal and drink on the day of surgery must be taken at least 6 hours before the set time
- Should you have chronic conditions or be under regular specialist care, a specialist's clearance is needed for planned surgery under general anaesthesia
Recovery after rhinoplasty: stages and advice
Rehabilitation after nose surgery carries the same weight as the surgery itself. The right recovery defines the aesthetics and harmony of the final result. At City Medical Centre it is closely monitored and divided into three phases: early, middle and late
Early phase
- For 24 hours following rhinoplasty, the patient remains under observation in the inpatient unit
- Days 1–3: you breathe through your mouth, splints are in the nostrils
- Swelling is present; nasal congestion and bruises can appear
- Day 7: the splints come out. Up to 14 days the aluminium splint stays; on day 14 stitches go together with the splint
- No bending over, touching your nose or wearing glasses
Middle phase
- Swelling fades gradually, yet the tip and bridge may remain swollen
- During one month: no sport, bathhouse, sauna, pool, hot baths or sun
- Sleep only on your back, half-sitting
- Avoid glasses and makeup around the nose
Late phase
- Some mild congestion may be felt for 1–1.5 months after nose surgery
- 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 accelerate recovery and get the ideal outcome after rhinoplasty, we advise
- 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
In the first days this may occur, especially if restrictions are neglected
Infection
An extremely rare complication caused by poor hygiene
Nose shape irregularities
Asymmetry, septum shift, uneven cartilage fixation
Impaired breathing
May occur with excess tissue removal or unique 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. Involves tests, CT, ECG and checks by the surgeon and anaesthetist.
- Follow the recovery regime. Don't touch your nose or remove the dressing on your own; avoid sport, sun, alcohol and tobacco.
- Antibiotic prophylaxis. Prescribed when indicated to prevent infection.
- Follow-up visits. Regular check-ins with the surgeon detect even minor deviations and address them early.
- Psychological readiness. Know that the end result only becomes clear in 1–1.5 years.
Important: should breathing become difficult or you have severe pain, high fever or shape changes after rhinoplasty, call your doctor at once.
Rhinoplasty at City Medical Centre uses modern technology and safe materials, with constant medical supervision minimising the risk of complications.

Rhinoplasty:
frequently asked questions
When is the best time for rhinoplasty?
18 to 45 is the optimal age. By this age the nose has formed completely, while tissues still heal well. With medical indications, older patients can have surgery if their general health allows
How do I prepare for rhinoplasty?
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
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 — a septum-correcting surgery that restores normal breathing and does not change the outer contour of the nose.
When a patient has a deviated septum along with aesthetic concerns, both surgeries are often combined. This gives a harmonious look and brings back full breathing. At City Medical Centre . we do rhinoseptoplasty — a combined operation that solves both tasks in one step
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?
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
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?
Closed rhinoplasty places the incisions inside, leaving no external scars. After open rhinoplasty there is a barely noticeable scar on the columella (the bridge between the nostrils), and it almost completely fades over time. Our doctors apply microsurgical techniques and high-quality sutures to minimise scars
How much will rhinoplasty change my appearance?
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 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?
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.
What does the rhinoplasty price include?
Surgery under general anaesthesia, one day in the inpatient unit, monitoring by a doctor, a free check-up post-surgery. The clinic backs the result with a lifetime guarantee.
How much is a consultation?
We offer the first consultation at City Medical Centre free. The doctor examines your nose, evaluates the proportions of your face and names the exact cost.

Rhinoplasty: the art of harmony and function
Rhinoplasty (nose job) —
one of the most delicate and popular plastic surgeries, performed to reshape the nose according to the individual proportions of the nose and the face as a whole. Modern rhinoplasty is not merely a cosmetic change to the nose but complex surgical work to achieve an aesthetic ideal safely for health.
What is rhinoplasty, or nose reshaping surgery?
Essentially, rhinoplasty is a comprehensive solution. It corrects congenital as well as acquired nasal deformities, such as those after a nasal injury. A dorsal hump or an overly wide nose often troubles patients. Correction may also focus on the nasal tip (tip rhinoplasty) or the nostrils (alar rhinoplasty). Each patient's surgery plan is made individually, considering all features of the nose.
How is the surgery performed?
Rhinoplasty is performed under general anaesthesia and takes 1.5 to 3 hours depending on complexity. There are two main approaches: open rhinoplasty and closed rhinoplasty. Open rhinoplasty involves a small incision on the columella (the tissue between the nostrils), giving the surgeon a full view of all nasal structures. Closed rhinoplasty is done through incisions inside the nose and leaves no visible scars.
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.
Recovery and results
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.
Why trust the professionals?
Rhinoplasty is a big step to take. A properly done rhinoplasty makes the new nose blend perfectly with your features and work flawlessly. At the consultation the surgeon carefully assesses every parameter: nose size, tip projection, the septum and nasal lining. With the help of 3D modelling you see your future nasal proportions before rhinoplasty is performed.
Looking up rhinoplasty photos online is only a start. Book a consultation to discuss what modern rhinoplasty can and cannot do for you. We specialise in reshaping the nose and correcting external nasal deformities.

Choosing rhinoplasty in Baghdad
Rhinoplasty, or nose job, reshapes the nose to fit the individual proportions of the face. It corrects congenital and acquired deformities, including changes after a nasal injury. Patients from Baghdad most often ask about removing a dorsal hump, narrowing an overly wide nose, refining the tip or correcting the nostrils. Every surgery plan is created individually, taking into account all features of the nose.
Preparation begins about 21 days before surgery, when the plastic surgeon hands over the list of tests. Three to five days before, stop smoking and alcohol, cut salty, fatty and spicy foods and avoid peels or scrubs. On the day itself, the last food and drink should be at least six hours before the operation. This routine is the same for every Baghdad patient.
If you are comparing rhinoplasty prices in Baghdad, look at what is included. Here $4,200 is the full figure for the operation with follow-up visits, dressings, inpatient stay and coordinator support, plus a lifetime guarantee on the result.
