Your path to the perfect nose: from dream to reality
A complete guide from first consultation to recovery
Consultation and nose modelling
To choose the best correction method, the doctor assesses your nose, discusses your wishes and carries out the necessary checks
Pre-surgery check-up
Full lab tests are required ahead of surgery: a complete blood count, biochemistry, a coagulation panel, and chest and sinus X-rays
The surgery
Rhinoplasty is carried out by the surgeon using the agreed method, under local or general anaesthesia, to reshape the nose
Step-by-step surgical process
Rhinoplasty opens with a tailored consultation, 3D modelling of the nose and a septum and breathing assessment. Pre-op preparation comes next, with tests, a CT scan and specialist consultations, after which the patient goes into surgery.
- Anaesthesia — TIVA (intravenous anaesthesia) or classic general anaesthesia, depending on complexity
- Access — surgeon's choice of open technique (incision on the columella outside) or closed technique (incisions inside the nose only)
- Bone and cartilage reshaping — done with an ultrasonic piezo device to limit injury to tissue and vessels
- Shaping the new nose — excess tissue comes out or a graft goes in; the bridge, tip, nostrils or septum are remodelled
- Sutures — atraumatic, self-absorbing or cosmetic suture material is used
- Fixation — packing and an outer splint are applied to hold the new shape
Inpatient stay
Each procedure is performed in the inpatient unit of the clinic. After surgery, your stay lasts one day
Recovery period
After the operation you take a recovery course: swelling relief, nose check-ups and advice on care. Full recovery averages about 4 months, while first visible changes appear after two weeks
Post-op check-ups
Until the end of the year you can get a free post-op consultation with our plastic surgeon. At the check-up the doctor evaluates the rhinoplasty result, monitors recovery and answers all your questions

Preparing for nose surgery
To set up a successful surgery, prepare starting 21 days before rhinoplasty. Our plastic surgeon will give you the required tests at the first visit.
Full blood count including ESR, differential and platelets
Urinalysis
Infectious disease tests: HIV, HBsAg, anti-HCV, 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
Blood clotting panel (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
- 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
- In advance of the hospital stay, purchase class 2 compression stockings
- At least 6 hours before the scheduled time on the day of surgery, stop all food and drink
- If you live with chronic conditions or see a specialist regularly, elective surgery under general anaesthesia requires the specialist's clearance
Recovery after rhinoplasty: stages and advice
Healing after nose surgery is no less important than the surgery itself. The final result's aesthetics and harmony depend on proper recovery. At City Medical Centre recovery is closely supervised and has three phases: early, middle and late
Early phase
- In the first 24 hours after rhinoplasty, the patient is monitored in the inpatient unit
- Days 1–3: breathing is through the mouth, with splints in the nostrils
- Swelling appears; nasal congestion and bruising are possible
- Day 7: splint removal. The aluminium splint stays on up to 14 days; on day 14 the stitches and splint are removed together
- No bending over, touching your nose or wearing glasses
Middle phase
- Swelling eases over time, but the tip and bridge can stay puffy
- For a month, skip exercise, the bathhouse, sauna, pool, hot baths and sun
- Sleep only on your back, half-sitting
- Avoid glasses and makeup around the nose
Late phase
- Mild nasal congestion may remain for 1–1.5 months post-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
For a faster recovery and the 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
Possible in the first days, especially when restrictions are not followed
Infection
An extremely rare complication caused by poor hygiene
Nose shape irregularities
Asymmetry, septum shift, uneven cartilage fixation
Impaired breathing
Can result from removing too much tissue or from 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 doctor's skill and experience are central to safe rhinoplasty.
- Full diagnostics before surgery. Made up of tests, CT, ECG and surgeon and anaesthetist exams.
- Follow the recovery regime. Never remove the dressing on your own or touch the nose; stay away from sport, sun, alcohol and cigarettes.
- Antibiotic prophylaxis. Prescribed when indicated to prevent infection.
- Follow-up visits. Regular surgeon appointments reveal the slightest deviations so they are fixed early.
- Mental preparedness. The patient should realise the final outcome appears in 1–1.5 years.
Important: seek your doctor immediately if you have difficulty breathing, severe pain, high fever or any shape change after rhinoplasty.
Rhinoplasty at City Medical Centre uses modern technology and safe materials, with constant medical supervision minimising the risk of complications.

Rhinoplasty:
frequently asked questions
When is the best time for rhinoplasty?
The recommended age is 18 to 45, when the nose is fully formed and tissues continue to heal well. Given medical indications, surgery may be done at an older age if your general health permits
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 that changes how the nose looks (for aesthetic reasons) and improves its function if breathing is affected.
Septoplasty — a septum-correcting surgery that restores normal breathing and does not change the outer contour of the nose.
The two surgeries are frequently done together, especially for patients with a deviated septum and aesthetic concerns. This achieves a harmonious look and full breathing. At City Medical Centre . we perform rhinoseptoplasty — one combined surgery addressing both tasks at once
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 changes show as swelling subsides (2–3 weeks); however, the final rhinoplasty outcome is assessed in 1–1.5 years, when the tissues stabilise completely
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?
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
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 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?
Surgery under general anaesthesia, one day in the inpatient unit, doctor monitoring and a free check-up after surgery. The clinic gives a lifetime guarantee on the result.
How much is a consultation?
City Medical Centre offers the first consultation free. After examining your nose and facial proportions, the doctor names 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 its essence, rhinoplasty is a comprehensive solution. It addresses congenital and acquired nasal deformities, including cases after a nasal injury. Typical concerns are a dorsal hump or an overly wide nose. Correction may also concentrate on the nasal tip (tip rhinoplasty) or the nostrils (alar rhinoplasty). An individual surgery plan is prepared for every patient, based on all features 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 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
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.
Photos of rhinoplasty online don't tell the whole story. Book a consultation to discuss what modern rhinoplasty can and cannot achieve for you. Correcting external nasal deformities and reshaping the nose is our specialty.

Nose reshaping in Brussels: a practical guide
Rhinoplasty covers several procedures. Tip rhinoplasty targets the nasal tip, alar rhinoplasty the nostrils, septorhinoplasty the septum together with the outer shape, and revision surgery corrects an earlier unsuccessful result. Revision is more complex and is done no earlier than a year after the primary operation. The plan for each person from Brussels is built around their anatomy and wishes.
Here is the route in short: consultation with a 3D forecast, a full lab work-up confirming there are no contraindications, the operation, a day in the inpatient unit and then a recovery course with swelling relief and nose monitoring. Mild congestion may persist for 1–1.5 months. Nasal breathing usually returns within 1–2 weeks for patients in Brussels.
If you are comparing rhinoplasty prices in Brussels, look at what is included. Here $4,200 is the full figure for the operation with follow-up visits, dressings, inpatient stay and coordinator support, plus a lifetime guarantee on the result. Apply before the end of the year and the consultation is on the clinic. Fill in the short form to get started.
