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
The surgeon performs rhinoplasty with the chosen method under general or local anaesthesia, reshaping the nose
Step-by-step surgical process
The process opens with a personal consultation, 3D nose modelling and a check of the septum and breathing. The patient then completes pre-op preparation, including tests, a CT scan and specialist consultations, before going to surgery.
- Anaesthesia — TIVA (intravenous anaesthesia) or classic general anaesthesia, depending on complexity
- Access — depending on the surgeon's choice, open (external incision on the columella) or closed (all incisions internal)
- Correcting bone and cartilage — with an ultrasonic piezo instrument for minimal injury to tissues and vessels
- Modelling the new nose — excess tissue is excised or a graft is added; the bridge, tip, nostrils or septum get a new shape
- Sutures — atraumatic, absorbable or cosmetic suture material is chosen
- 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
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
Until the year is out, get a post-op consultation with our plastic surgeon free of charge. The doctor evaluates the rhinoplasty outcome, monitors your recovery and responds to 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.
Complete blood count covering ESR, differential and 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
Clotting tests — 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
- Skip salty, fatty, fried and spicy food that causes swelling; stop blood-clotting-affecting medications (discuss this with your doctor first)
- Limit physical activity
- Stay away from cosmetic treatments that injure skin: scrubs, peels, etc.
Important!
- Each test must be on a separate form
- The facility's stamp and doctor's signature are required
- In advance of the hospital stay, purchase class 2 compression stockings
- Your final meal and drink on surgery day must be no later than 6 hours before the scheduled time
- 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
The recovery period after nose surgery is as important as the surgery. Correct recovery shapes how aesthetic and balanced the final result turns out. City Medical Centre monitors recovery closely and divides it into three phases: early, middle and late
Early phase
- For the initial 24 hours post-rhinoplasty, the patient stays in the inpatient unit under observation
- Days 1–3: you use your mouth to breathe, with splints in the nostrils
- Swelling occurs, and congestion or bruising is 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 slowly goes down, though the tip and bridge may remain 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
- Slight congestion is possible 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
May be seen in the first days, particularly when restrictions are ignored
Infection
An extremely rare complication caused by poor hygiene
Nose shape irregularities
Asymmetry, septum shift, uneven cartilage fixation
Impaired breathing
Possible 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. The doctor's skill and experience are key to safe rhinoplasty.
- Full diagnostics before surgery. Consists of tests, CT, ECG, and surgeon and anaesthetist exams.
- Follow the recovery regime. Keep your hands off the nose and the dressing; avoid sport, the sun, alcohol and cigarettes.
- Antibiotic prophylaxis. Prescribed when indicated to prevent infection.
- Surgeon follow-ups. Regular visits catch even the smallest deviations and fix them at an early stage.
- Psychological readiness. The patient should understand the final result shows 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 performed with modern equipment, safe materials and constant supervision by doctors, minimising the chance of complications.

Rhinoplasty:
frequently asked questions
When is the best time for rhinoplasty?
The optimal age range is 18 to 45. The nose is fully formed by then and tissues still heal well. At an older age, surgery is possible with medical indications if your general health allows it
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 — correction of the nasal septum by surgery, restoring normal breathing with no change to the nose's outer contour.
Both surgeries are often combined, particularly when a patient has a deviated septum as well as aesthetic concerns. The result is a harmonious look and fully restored breathing. At City Medical Centre . we do rhinoseptoplasty — a combined operation that solves both tasks in one step
What are the risks of rhinoplasty?
Any surgery may bring swelling, bruising, infection, bleeding, short-term breathing problems or minor asymmetry. At City Medical Centre, modern techniques, anaesthesia and equipment minimise risks, backed by 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?
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?
The closed method keeps all incisions inside, leaving no scars outside. The open method leaves a barely visible scar on the columella (the bridge between the nostrils) which fades almost completely in time. Our doctors minimise scars through 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 at City Medical Centre is $4,200 instead of $6,000 under the current discount. The initial consultation is free.
What does the rhinoplasty price depend on?
The cost depends on the extent of surgery and is set at the consultation: the doctor names the exact price after examining your nose and facial proportions.
What does the rhinoplasty price include?
Operation under general anaesthesia, one inpatient day, the doctor's monitoring and a free check-up after the operation. A lifetime guarantee on the result is given by the clinic.
How much is a consultation?
Your first consultation at City Medical Centre is free. The doctor examines your nose, evaluates facial proportions and states the exact cost of surgery.

Rhinoplasty: the art of harmony and function
Rhinoplasty (nose job) —
one of the most delicate and widely performed plastic surgeries, intended to reshape the nose in keeping with the individual proportions of the nose and whole face. Modern rhinoplasty is complex surgical work, not just a surgery to alter the nose's look, and it seeks an aesthetic ideal without damaging health.
What is rhinoplasty, or nose reshaping surgery?
In essence, rhinoplasty is a comprehensive solution that corrects congenital and acquired nasal deformities, for example after a nasal injury. Patients frequently complain of a dorsal hump or an overly wide nose. The correction may also involve the nasal tip (tip rhinoplasty) or the nostrils (alar rhinoplasty). For each patient, an individual surgery plan is drawn up that takes into account every feature of the 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.
The technique depends on your goals and is chosen by the surgeon. Correcting an upturned nose or complexly reshaping the nasal bones and bridge, for example, often requires open access.
Recovery and results
After the operation, caring for the nose is essential. An aluminium splint covers the nose, while special silicone splints go inside. Nasal function is limited at first but recovers quickly. The final rhinoplasty result can be assessed in 1–1.5 years, after the swelling has fully subsided.
Why trust the professionals?
Rhinoplasty is an important step. Well-executed rhinoplasty means a new nose that blends perfectly with your features and works flawlessly. The surgeon reviews every parameter in detail during the consultation: nose size, tip projection, the septum and nasal lining. We rely on 3D modelling so you can preview your future nasal proportions before rhinoplasty is performed.
Go beyond searching online for rhinoplasty photos. Book a consultation to discuss the possibilities and limits of modern rhinoplasty for you. Correcting external nasal deformities and reshaping the nose is our specialty.

About nose surgery for patients from Bogotá
Who is a candidate? The optimal age is 18 to 45, when the nose is fully formed and tissues heal well; with medical indications, older patients can also be considered if health allows. Indications include asymmetric cartilage or nostrils and significant breathing problems. Anyone researching rhinoplasty in Bogotá should know the contraindications too: decompensated chronic disease, skin damage or inflammation in the area.
Recovery has early, middle and late phases. During days 1–3 you breathe through your mouth, and swelling and bruising may appear. Internal splints come out on day 7; the aluminium splint and stitches are removed by day 14. For a month, avoid exercise, saunas, pools and sun, and sleep on your back half-sitting. Patients from Bogotá get care advice at every stage.
Budgeting for rhinoplasty is straightforward: $4,200 covers the surgeon's work, the stay in the inpatient unit, check-ups and dressings, and a dedicated coordinator. There is no separate bill for the first consultation. For Bogotá patients, this is the moment to ask about timing, recovery and contraindications and receive clear answers before committing. The consultation is non-binding.
