Your path to the perfect nose: from dream to reality
A complete guide from first consultation to recovery
Consultation and nose modelling
After examining your nose and discussing your goals, the doctor runs the required checks to choose the right correction method
Pre-surgery check-up
Surgery requires a full lab work-up beforehand: complete blood count, biochemistry, coagulation tests, chest X-ray and sinus X-ray
The surgery
The surgeon reshapes the nose with the chosen technique, working under general or local anaesthesia
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 — the surgeon chooses the open (external incision on the columella) or closed technique (all incisions inside the nose)
- Bone and cartilage work — performed using an ultrasonic piezo device, minimising trauma to tissue and vessels
- Forming the new nose — the surgeon removes excess tissue or adds a graft and reshapes the bridge, tip, nostrils or septum
- Sutures — we use atraumatic, self-absorbing or cosmetic suture material
- Fixation — the shape is stabilised with packing and an external splint
Inpatient stay
All procedures happen in the clinic's inpatient unit; you stay there for one day once surgery is over
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 the end of the year, our plastic surgeon will see you for a free post-op consultation. The check-up covers evaluating the rhinoplasty result, monitoring recovery and answering all your questions

Preparing for nose surgery
Preparing 21 days before rhinoplasty is key to a successful surgery. At your first visit, our plastic surgeon will hand you a list of tests.
Complete blood count (with ESR, differential and platelets)
Urinalysis
Infection screening: HIV, HBsAg, anti-HCV, 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
- Exclude salty, fatty, fried and spicy food, which causes swelling; stop any medications that influence clotting (coordinate with your doctor)
- Limit physical activity
- Don't use skin-damaging cosmetic treatments: scrubs, peels, etc.
Important!
- Each test must be on a separate form
- The facility's stamp and doctor's signature are required
- Class 2 compression stockings should be bought in advance for your stay
- Your final meal and drink on surgery day must be no later than 6 hours before the scheduled 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
Post-operative recovery is every bit as important as the nose surgery itself. Proper recovery determines the aesthetics and harmony of the final result. At City Medical Centre, recovery is tightly monitored and has 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 orally, as the nostrils contain splints
- Swelling develops; bruising and nasal congestion may occur
- Day 7: splints come out. The aluminium splint stays up to 14 days; stitches come out on day 14 with the splint
- 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 workouts, bathhouse, sauna, pool, hot baths or sun
- Sleep only on your back, half-sitting
- Avoid glasses and makeup around the nose
Late phase
- 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 help recovery go faster and get an ideal rhinoplasty result, 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
As with any surgery, nose surgery carries certain risks, even though it is one of the most popular and well-established aesthetic procedures. Our clinic offers thorough pre-op preparation and post-op monitoring to minimise the chance of complications after rhinoplasty.
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
A possibility with excessive 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. Safe rhinoplasty relies above all on the doctor's skill and experience.
- Full diagnostics before surgery. Consists of tests, CT, ECG, and surgeon and anaesthetist exams.
- Follow the recovery regime. Leave the dressing for the doctor to remove, don't touch your nose; skip sport, sun, alcohol and cigarettes.
- Antibiotic prophylaxis. Prescribed when indicated to prevent infection.
- Follow-up visits. Regular visits to the surgeon catch the smallest deviations and fix them early.
- Psychological readiness. It is important to understand the final result takes 1–1.5 years to show.
Important: if you have difficulty breathing, severe pain, high fever or shape changes after rhinoplasty, contact your doctor immediately.
Rhinoplasty at City Medical Centre is done with up-to-date technology and safe materials under constant medical supervision, keeping complication risk to a minimum.

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 consists of plastic surgeon consultations, lab tests (CBC, biochemistry, coagulation, infection tests), ECG, chest X-ray, and a nasal X-ray or CT. One week before surgery, stop anticoagulants, alcohol and smoking. On the day before, eat light meals; fast for 6 hours before surgery
Rhinoplasty vs septoplasty: what's the difference?
Rhinoplasty — surgery aimed at changing the look of the nose (an aesthetic goal) and improving its function where breathing is impaired.
Septoplasty — a surgical fix for the nasal septum that restores normal breathing without changing how the nose looks outside.
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 perform rhinoseptoplasty — combined surgery that deals with both tasks at once
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?
You'll see first improvements after the swelling eases (2–3 weeks), while the final rhinoplasty result is evaluated in 1–1.5 years, when tissues have fully stabilised
Can I breathe through my nose after surgery?
Right after surgery, the nasal passages can be partially obstructed by splints or swelling for the first days. Normal breathing typically returns within 1–2 weeks, based on the extent of surgery and your body
Will there be visible scars?
With the closed technique, incisions are made inside, so external scars are absent. The open technique leaves a barely visible scar on the columella (the bridge between the nostrils), fading almost entirely as time passes. Microsurgical techniques and quality sutures help our doctors keep scars minimal
How much will rhinoplasty change my appearance?
Rhinoplasty balances facial features and improves aesthetics while preserving individuality. 3D modelling lets you see the predicted result early and discuss 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 final cost depends on the scope of surgery and is set at the consultation, with the doctor naming 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?
There is no charge for the first consultation at City Medical Centre. The doctor examines the nose, assesses facial proportions and names the surgery's exact cost.

Rhinoplasty: the art of harmony and function
Rhinoplasty (nose job) —
one of the most delicate and popular plastic surgeries, aimed at reshaping the nose in line with the individual proportions of the nose and the whole face. Modern rhinoplasty is not just a surgery to change how the nose looks, but complex surgical work to achieve 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?
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.
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
Care of the nose is needed after surgery. An aluminium splint is fixed on the nose, with special silicone splints inside. Nasal function is reduced for the first days but recovers quickly. The final result of rhinoplasty can be assessed in 1–1.5 years, once all swelling is gone.
Why trust the professionals?
Rhinoplasty is a major step. When rhinoplasty is done well, the new nose blends perfectly with your features and functions flawlessly. During the consultation the surgeon assesses every parameter in detail: nose size, tip projection, the septum and nasal lining. With 3D modelling, you can 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.

Nose reshaping in Berlin: a practical guide
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 Berlin who browse before-and-after photos online should instead discuss at a consultation what modern rhinoplasty can and cannot do in their specific case.
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 Berlin can be judged after 1–1.5 years, once tissues fully stabilise.
Start with a free, non-binding consultation: you get an assessment of nasal anatomy, a 3D forecast and answers on recovery. If you decide to proceed, rhinoplasty costs $4,200, including the operation, inpatient stay, follow-up visits and dressings, with a lifetime guarantee on the result. Patients from Berlin can send a request online or message a coordinator.
