Your path to the perfect nose: from dream to reality
A complete guide from first consultation to recovery
Consultation and nose modelling
The doctor inspects your nose, clarifies your wishes and runs all required checks to determine the best method of correction
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
Rhinoplasty is done by the surgeon with the method chosen, under local or general anaesthesia, to correct the nose's shape
Step-by-step surgical process
A personal consultation, 3D modelling of the nose and an assessment of the septum and breathing come first. The patient then goes through pre-op preparation, including tests, a CT scan and specialist consultations, and proceeds to surgery.
- Anaesthesia — either TIVA (intravenous anaesthesia) or traditional general anaesthesia, per complexity
- 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 — the ultrasonic piezo device keeps tissue and vessel trauma to a minimum
- Shaping the new nose — the bridge, tip, nostrils or septum are reshaped, removing excess tissue or adding a graft
- Sutures — suture material used is atraumatic, self-absorbing or cosmetic
- Fixation — packing and a splint on the outside secure the new shape
Inpatient stay
We perform all procedures in the clinic's inpatient unit. After the operation you remain there one day
Recovery period
A recovery course follows surgery, covering swelling relief, monitoring of the nose and care guidance. Healing is usually complete in about 4 months, with first visible results after two weeks
Post-op check-ups
Our plastic surgeon provides a free post-op consultation until the end of the year. At the check-up, the rhinoplasty result is evaluated, recovery is monitored and all your questions are answered

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.
Full blood count including ESR, differential and platelets
Urinalysis
Infection panel: HIV, HBsAg, anti-HCV and Treponema pallidum antibodies
Blood type and Rh factor
Biochemical analysis of blood: total protein; urea; uric acid; creatinine; glucose; total, direct and indirect bilirubin; 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
- Say no to swelling-causing food — salty, fatty, fried, spicy; stop medications that alter blood clotting (after agreeing 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
- On the day of surgery, your last food and drink must be at least 6 hours before the scheduled time
- Anyone with chronic conditions or under a specialist's regular care must get clearance from that specialist for elective surgery under general anaesthesia
Recovery after rhinoplasty: stages and advice
Recovery after nose surgery matters as much as the operation itself. How well you recover defines how aesthetic and harmonious the final result is. At City Medical Centre recovery is carefully monitored and split into three phases: early, middle and late
Early phase
- During the first 24 hours after rhinoplasty, the patient is observed in the inpatient unit
- Days 1–3: you breathe through your mouth, splints are in the nostrils
- Swelling emerges; bruising and a blocked nose are possible
- Day 7: the splints are taken out. The aluminium splint stays up to 14 days, with stitches removed alongside it 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 the month: no training, bathhouse, sauna, pool, hot baths or sunbathing
- Sleep only on your back, half-sitting
- Avoid glasses and makeup around the nose
Late phase
- For 1–1.5 months after nose surgery, a mild stuffy feeling may persist
- 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
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
Can appear in the first days, particularly 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. The doctor's expertise and experience are vital for safe rhinoplasty.
- Full diagnostics before surgery. Made up of tests, CT, ECG and surgeon and anaesthetist exams.
- 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 visits to the surgeon catch the smallest deviations and fix them early.
- Emotional readiness. The patient should accept that the final result emerges 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 carried out using advanced technology, safe materials and nonstop medical supervision, lowering 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?
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 — a surgery changing the nose's look (an aesthetic objective) and improving its function in cases of impaired breathing.
Septoplasty — a septum-correcting surgery that restores normal breathing and does not change the outer contour of the nose.
Often both surgeries are combined, especially when a patient has a deviated septum and aesthetic concerns. This gives a harmonious look and restores full breathing. At City Medical Centre . we carry out rhinoseptoplasty — a combined operation that handles both tasks together
What are the risks of rhinoplasty?
Any operation carries possible swelling, bruising, infection, bleeding, temporary breathing problems and minor asymmetry. To keep risks minimal, City Medical Centre employs modern techniques, anaesthesia and equipment, plus 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?
During the first days after surgery, splints or swelling may partly block the nasal passages. Breathing is usually fully restored within 1–2 weeks, depending on the extent of surgery and your body
Will there be visible scars?
In closed rhinoplasty all incisions are internal, so no external scars remain. Open rhinoplasty leaves a barely visible scar on the columella (the bridge between the nostrils) that fades almost completely with time. Our doctors use microsurgical techniques and quality sutures to keep scarring minimal
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?
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 cost is set at the consultation and depends on the extent of surgery; the exact price is named by the doctor after an exam of your nose and facial proportions.
What does the rhinoplasty price include?
General anaesthesia for the surgery, one day in the inpatient unit, doctor monitoring and a complimentary check-up afterwards. The clinic guarantees the result for life.
How much is a consultation?
At City Medical Centre the first consultation costs nothing. The doctor checks your nose, assesses your facial proportions and gives the exact surgery cost.

Rhinoplasty: the art of harmony and function
Rhinoplasty (nose job) —
one of the most delicate and sought-after plastic surgeries, which reshapes the nose to match the individual proportions of the nose and the entire face. Modern rhinoplasty is more than a surgery to change the nose's look — it is complex surgical work aiming at an aesthetic ideal without harm to 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 done under general anaesthesia and lasts 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on complexity. There are two main approaches — open and closed rhinoplasty. In open rhinoplasty a small incision is made on the columella (the tissue between the nostrils), so the surgeon sees all nasal structures fully. Closed rhinoplasty uses incisions inside the nose and leaves no visible scars.
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
The nose needs looking after once surgery is done. An aluminium splint is put on the nose and special silicone splints inside it. Its function is limited in the first days but recovers fast. The final rhinoplasty result becomes assessable in 1–1.5 years, when swelling is fully gone.
Why trust the professionals?
Deciding on rhinoplasty is a big step. A well-performed rhinoplasty gives a new nose that blends perfectly with your features and works flawlessly. At the consultation, the surgeon examines each parameter in detail — nose size, tip projection, the septum and nasal lining. We use 3D modelling to show your future nasal proportions before the surgery 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.

Everything about rhinoplasty for Birmingham patients
The aim is a nose that blends with your features and works flawlessly. Before anything is decided in Birmingham, the surgeon evaluates nose size, tip projection, the septum and nasal lining, then uses 3D modelling to show the future proportions. Rhinoplasty makes features more harmonious without losing individuality, and the predicted result is agreed with you in advance.
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 Birmingham patient.
One price, $4,200, applies to open and closed techniques, tip work and septorhinoplasty alike. It includes general anaesthesia, a day in the inpatient unit, doctor monitoring and a free check-up afterwards, and the clinic gives a lifetime guarantee on the result. Birmingham residents can start with a free consultation: the doctor examines the nose and names the exact figure.
