Recorded in the City Medical Centre operating room, not a set-up.
Your path to the perfect nose: from dream to reality
A complete guide from first consultation to recovery
Consultation and nose modelling
The doctor examines your nose, talks through your wishes and carries out the required checks to select 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 performs rhinoplasty with the chosen method under general or local anaesthesia, reshaping the nose
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 (intravenous) or classic general anaesthesia, selected according to complexity
- Access — the surgeon picks the open method (external columella incision) or the closed method (all incisions inside the nose)
- Bone and cartilage correction — the ultrasonic piezo device keeps tissue and vessel trauma to a minimum
- Modelling the new nose — excess tissue is excised or a graft is added; the bridge, tip, nostrils or septum get a new shape
- Sutures — with atraumatic, self-dissolving or cosmetic suture material
- Fixation — to stabilise the shape, packing and an external splint are placed
Inpatient stay
Each procedure is performed in the inpatient unit of the clinic. After surgery, your stay lasts one day
Recovery period
Once surgery is over, a recovery course follows: reducing swelling, monitoring the nose and giving care advice. Full healing averages about 4 months, with visible results first seen 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
Begin getting ready 21 days before rhinoplasty so the surgery is successful. Your list of tests comes from our plastic surgeon at the first visit.
CBC (complete blood count) with ESR, differential, platelets
Urinalysis
Infection checks — HIV, HBsAg, anti-HCV, Treponema pallidum antibodies
Blood type and Rh factor
Biochemistry of the blood (total protein, urea, uric acid, creatinine, glucose, total, direct and indirect bilirubin, ALT, AST, K, Na, Cl, cholesterol)
Blood clotting panel (Quick prothrombin, INR, aPTT, D-dimer, antithrombin III)
Electrocardiogram (ECG) with report
Doppler ultrasound / duplex scan of the leg veins
Chest X-ray or fluorography with report
CT scan of the paranasal sinuses
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
- 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
- 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
- On surgery day, food and drink must end at least 6 hours before the time of the operation
- Chronic conditions or regular specialist follow-up mean you need a specialist's sign-off for planned surgery under general anaesthesia
Recovery after rhinoplasty: stages and advice
Recovery following nose surgery is equally as important as the surgery. How aesthetic and harmonious the end result becomes depends on proper recovery. City Medical Centre follows recovery closely, dividing it into three phases: early, middle and late
Early phase
- The patient remains in the inpatient unit under observation for 24 hours after rhinoplasty
- Days 1–3: breathing is through the mouth, with splints in the nostrils
- Swelling shows up; congestion and bruising are possible
- Day 7: removal of splints. The aluminium splint lasts up to 14 days; the stitches come out with the splint on day 14
- No bending over, touching your nose or wearing glasses
Middle phase
- Swelling gradually subsides, but the tip and bridge may stay swollen
- For a month: no exercise, bathhouse, sauna, pool, hot baths or sun
- Sleep only on your back, half-sitting
- Avoid glasses and makeup around the nose
Late phase
- Expect possible mild congestion for 1–1.5 months after the 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 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
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 happen in the first few days, mainly when restrictions are broken
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 skilled, experienced doctor is key to a safe rhinoplasty.
- Full diagnostics before surgery. Tests, CT, ECG, plus exams by the surgeon and the anaesthetist.
- 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. Regular surgeon check-ups identify minor deviations early and correct them.
- Mental preparedness. The patient should realise the final outcome appears 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 is carried out with modern technology, safe materials and ongoing medical supervision to minimise the risk 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?
Preparation covers plastic surgeon consultations; lab tests (CBC, biochemistry, coagulation, infection tests); ECG; chest X-ray; and an X-ray or CT scan of the nose. Stop taking anticoagulants, alcohol and smoking a week prior. Light meals the day before; fast 6 hours before surgery
Rhinoplasty vs septoplasty: what's the difference?
Rhinoplasty — surgery that alters nasal appearance (an aesthetic goal) and improves nasal function when breathing is impaired.
Septoplasty — surgery to correct the nasal septum and restore normal breathing, keeping the nose's external contour intact.
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 offer rhinoseptoplasty, a combined surgery solving both tasks in one go
What are the risks of rhinoplasty?
Like all surgery, this one may cause swelling, bruising, infection, bleeding, temporary breathing issues and minor asymmetry. City Medical Centre keeps risks low using modern techniques, anaesthesia and equipment, as well as post-op monitoring and recovery therapy
When will I see the result?
The first improvements appear as swelling goes down (2–3 weeks), but the final rhinoplasty result can be assessed in 1–1.5 years, once tissues fully stabilise
Can I breathe through my nose after surgery?
In the first days after surgery the nasal passages may be partly blocked by splints or swelling. Full breathing usually returns within 1–2 weeks, depending on the extent of surgery and your body
Will there be visible scars?
Closed rhinoplasty uses internal incisions, so nothing shows on the outside. Open rhinoplasty results in a barely visible scar on the columella (the bridge between the nostrils) that almost completely fades with time. Our doctors keep scars minimal with microsurgical techniques and quality sutures
How much will rhinoplasty change my appearance?
Rhinoplasty brings more harmony to facial features and improves aesthetics while keeping your individuality. 3D modelling lets you see the predicted result beforehand and agree on changes with your surgeon
Rhinoplasty cost at City Medical Centre?
Thanks to the current discount, City Medical Centre rhinoplasty costs $4,200 instead of $6,000. First consultation free of charge.
What does the rhinoplasty price depend on?
Pricing depends on the extent of surgery and is set during the consultation: the doctor gives you the exact figure after examining your nose and facial proportions.
What does the rhinoplasty price include?
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.
How much is a consultation?
The first City Medical Centre consultation is free. Your nose is examined, facial proportions are assessed and the doctor names the exact cost of surgery.

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?
At bottom, rhinoplasty is a comprehensive solution, correcting both congenital and acquired nasal deformities — for example, after a nasal injury. Patients often seek help for a dorsal hump or an overly wide nose. It can also correct the nasal tip (tip rhinoplasty) or the nostrils (alar rhinoplasty). The surgery plan is designed for each patient individually, taking into account all the features of their nose.
How is the surgery performed?
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.
Based on your goals, the surgeon decides on the technique. For instance, an upturned nose correction or complex reshaping of the nasal bones and bridge often needs the open approach.
Recovery and results
Post-surgery, the nose needs proper care. The surgeon places an aluminium splint on the nose and special silicone splints inside it. In the first days nasal function is limited, yet it recovers fast. You can judge the final rhinoplasty result in 1–1.5 years, after swelling fully goes down.
Why trust the professionals?
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.
Rather than only looking for rhinoplasty photos online, book a consultation and discuss what modern rhinoplasty can and can't achieve for you. Our specialty is correcting external nasal deformities and reshaping the nose.

Rhinoplasty in Barcelona: what you need to know
A nose that fits the face changes the whole impression while keeping you recognisable. That is the principle behind rhinoplasty: correcting the hump, width, tip or nostrils in line with facial proportions. People in Barcelona who browse before-and-after photos online should instead discuss at a consultation what modern rhinoplasty can and cannot do in their specific case.
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 Barcelona patient.
How much is a nose job in Barcelona? 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.
