Your path to the perfect nose: from dream to reality
A complete guide from first consultation to recovery
Consultation and nose modelling
Your nose is assessed, your wishes are discussed and the needed checks are done so the doctor can pick the optimal correction method
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
With the chosen method and under general or local anaesthesia, the surgeon performs the rhinoplasty and reshapes 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 — based on complexity, either classic general anaesthesia or TIVA (intravenous anaesthesia)
- Access — the surgeon chooses the open (external incision on the columella) or closed technique (all incisions inside the nose)
- Bone and cartilage correction — performed with an ultrasonic piezo device, sparing tissues and vessels
- New nose shaping — extra tissue is removed or a graft added; the bridge, tip, nostrils or septum are given a new form
- Sutures — atraumatic, absorbable or cosmetic suture material is chosen
- Fixation — we place packing and an external splint to stabilise the form
Inpatient stay
The clinic's inpatient unit is where all procedures are performed. You stay for one day post-surgery
Recovery period
After surgery comes a recovery course — relief of swelling, monitoring of your nose and care tips. Full healing takes about 4 months on average, and you see the first results after two weeks
Post-op check-ups
You can book a free post-op consultation with our plastic surgeon until the end of the year. The doctor assesses the result of rhinoplasty, follows your recovery and answers every question at the check-up

Preparing for nose surgery
For a successful operation, preparation starts 21 days ahead of rhinoplasty. During the first visit our plastic surgeon gives you a test list.
Blood count, complete (including ESR, differential, platelets)
Urinalysis
Infections tested: HIV, HBsAg, anti-HCV and Treponema pallidum antibodies
Blood type and Rh factor
Biochemical blood panel — total protein, urea, uric acid, creatinine, glucose, bilirubin (total, direct and indirect), ALT, AST, K, Na, Cl, cholesterol

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
- 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
- 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
- Ahead of your hospital stay, buy 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
- After rhinoplasty the patient is kept under observation in the inpatient unit for the first 24 hours
- Days 1–3: you use your mouth to breathe, with splints in the nostrils
- Swelling develops; bruising and nasal congestion may occur
- 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 steadily goes down, but some remains at the tip and bridge
- For a month, no 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 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
For quicker recovery and an ideal result 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
Popular and well-established as nose surgery is among aesthetic procedures, it still carries certain risks, like any surgery. Our clinic keeps the chance of complications after rhinoplasty to a minimum with thorough pre-op preparation and post-op monitoring.
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. A skilled, experienced doctor is key to a safe rhinoplasty.
- Full diagnostics before surgery. Includes testing, CT, ECG and examination by surgeon and anaesthetist.
- Follow the recovery regime. Avoid removing the dressing yourself or touching your nose; no sport, sun, alcohol or cigarettes.
- 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. Understand that the final result will be visible in 1–1.5 years.
Important: in case of breathing difficulty, severe pain, high fever or changes in shape after rhinoplasty, reach your doctor without delay.
Rhinoplasty at City Medical Centre is performed under constant medical supervision, with modern technology and safe materials, reducing the risk of complications.

Rhinoplasty:
frequently asked questions
When is the best time for rhinoplasty?
Surgery is best done at 18 to 45, when the nose has finished forming and tissues still heal well. If medically indicated, it can be done later in life, provided 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 — an operation to alter the nose's appearance (an aesthetic goal) and improve its function when breathing is impaired.
Septoplasty — surgery on the nasal septum to bring back normal breathing, leaving the outer contour of the nose unchanged.
It is common to combine both surgeries, especially with a deviated septum plus aesthetic concerns. The outcome is a harmonious look and restored full breathing. At City Medical Centre . we carry out rhinoseptoplasty: a combined surgery covering both tasks simultaneously
What are the risks of rhinoplasty?
As in any surgery, possible effects include swelling, bruising, infection, bleeding, temporary breathing problems and minor asymmetry. City Medical Centre reduces risks through modern techniques, anaesthesia and equipment, post-op monitoring and recovery therapy
When will I see the result?
The first improvements emerge with reduced swelling (2–3 weeks), though the final rhinoplasty result becomes clear in 1–1.5 years, once tissues are fully stable
Can I breathe through my nose after surgery?
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
Will there be visible scars?
Closed rhinoplasty means internal incisions and therefore no external scars. Open rhinoplasty leaves a scar on the columella (the bridge between the nostrils) that is barely visible and fades almost completely over time. To keep scars minimal, our doctors use microsurgical techniques and quality sutures
How much will rhinoplasty change my appearance?
Rhinoplasty makes facial features more harmonious and improves aesthetics without losing individuality. With 3D modelling you can see the predicted result in advance and agree on the changes with your surgeon
Rhinoplasty cost at City Medical Centre?

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?
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?
Rhinoplasty is carried out under general anaesthesia, with a duration of 1.5 to 3 hours depending on complexity. Two main approaches are used: open rhinoplasty and closed rhinoplasty. Open rhinoplasty includes a small cut on the columella (the tissue between the nostrils), so the surgeon has a full view of all nasal structures. Closed rhinoplasty is performed via incisions inside the nose and leaves no visible scarring.
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
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.

Choosing rhinoplasty in Belgrade
There are two main approaches. Closed rhinoplasty is done through incisions inside the nose and leaves no visible scars. Open rhinoplasty uses a small incision on the columella, the tissue between the nostrils, giving the surgeon a full view of all structures. For Belgrade patients, the choice depends on goals: complex reshaping of the bones and bridge often calls for the open approach.
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 Belgrade patient.
Rhinoplasty costs $4,200. For patients from Belgrade, this price already includes the surgery and the surgeon's work, the inpatient stay after the operation, follow-up visits and dressings, and support from a personal coordinator. It covers every type of surgery — open and closed rhinoplasty, tip correction and septorhinoplasty. The first consultation is free; the exact cost is confirmed after an in-person exam.
