Rhinoplasty in Boston: Price and Methods

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

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.

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.

Your surgeon chooses the technique according to your goals. For example, the open approach is often required to correct an upturned nose or perform complex reshaping of the nasal bones and bridge.

Rhinoplasty — an operation to alter the nose's appearance (an aesthetic goal) and improve its function when breathing is impaired.
Septoplasty — surgical correction of the septum that restores normal breathing without altering the nose's external contour.
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 — one combined surgery addressing both tasks at once

The preparation stage includes seeing the plastic surgeon, lab tests (CBC, biochemistry, coagulation, infection tests), ECG, chest X-ray and nasal X-ray or CT. Anticoagulants, alcohol and smoking stop a week before surgery. Have light meals the day before; fast 6 hours before surgery

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

Swelling subsides and first improvements appear (2–3 weeks), but judging the final rhinoplasty result is possible in 1–1.5 years, when tissues fully settle

The nasal passages may be partly blocked by splints or swelling in the first days post-surgery. Full breathing tends to return within 1–2 weeks, depending on your body and the extent of surgery

Incisions in closed rhinoplasty are inside, which means no external scars. With the open approach, a barely visible columella scar (the bridge between the nostrils) remains and fades almost completely over time. Microsurgical techniques and quality sutures let our doctors keep scars minimal

Rhinoplasty adds harmony to facial features and improves aesthetics, keeping your individuality. 3D modelling gives you an advance look at the predicted result, so the changes can be agreed with your surgeon

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.

The price of rhinoplasty at City Medical Centre is $4,200 instead of $6,000 with the current discount. First consultation: free.

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.

Surgery under general anaesthesia, one day in the inpatient unit, monitoring by a doctor, a free check-up post-surgery. The clinic backs the result with a lifetime guarantee.

At City Medical Centre the first consultation costs nothing. The doctor checks your nose, assesses your facial proportions and gives the exact surgery cost.

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.
