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
You will need full lab testing before surgery — complete blood count, biochemistry, coagulation panel, chest and sinus X-rays
The surgery
The surgeon carries out rhinoplasty using the chosen technique under local or general anaesthesia, changing the nose's shape
Step-by-step surgical process
First comes a one-to-one consultation, 3D modelling of the nose and an assessment of breathing and the septum. Pre-op preparation follows — tests, a CT scan and consultations with specialists — and then the patient has surgery.
- Anaesthesia — classic general anaesthesia or TIVA (intravenous anaesthesia), chosen by complexity
- Access — the surgeon opts for the open approach (external cut on the columella) or the closed one (incisions only inside the nose)
- Bone and cartilage correction — via an ultrasonic piezo device so tissue and vessels suffer minimal trauma
- Shaping the new nose — the bridge, tip, nostrils or septum are reshaped, removing excess tissue or adding a graft
- Sutures — we use atraumatic, self-absorbing or cosmetic suture material
- Fixation — packing is inserted and an external splint fitted to stabilise the shape
Inpatient stay
All procedures take place in our clinic's inpatient unit, and after surgery you spend one day there
Recovery period
After surgery you go through a recovery course — swelling relief, nose monitoring and care advice. On average, full healing takes about 4 months, and first visible results appear after two weeks
Post-op check-ups
You can book a free post-op consultation with our plastic surgeon until the end of the year. The doctor assesses the result of rhinoplasty, follows your recovery and answers every question at the check-up

Preparing for nose surgery
For a successful surgery, start preparing 21 days before rhinoplasty. At the first visit our plastic surgeon will give you a list of tests.
CBC (complete blood count) with ESR, differential, platelets
Urinalysis
Infection panel: HIV, HBsAg, anti-HCV and Treponema pallidum antibodies
Blood type and Rh factor
Blood biochemistry including total protein; urea; uric acid; creatinine; glucose; bilirubin (total, direct, indirect); ALT; AST; K; Na; Cl; cholesterol
Coagulogram: 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
- Pass on cosmetic treatments that damage the skin, e.g. scrubs, peels, etc.
Important!
- Each test must be on a separate form
- The facility's stamp and doctor's signature are required
- Purchase class 2 compression stockings beforehand for the inpatient stay
- The day you have surgery, take your last food and drink at least 6 hours before the planned time
- If you have chronic conditions or are under regular specialist care, you need a specialist's clearance for elective surgery under general anaesthesia
Recovery after rhinoplasty: stages and advice
The surgery is only half the story — recovery after nose surgery is just as important. Proper healing defines how aesthetic and harmonious the final result will be. City Medical Centre monitors recovery closely across three phases: early, middle and late
Early phase
- After rhinoplasty the patient is kept under observation in the inpatient unit for the first 24 hours
- Days 1–3: splints are in the nostrils, so you breathe through your mouth
- Swelling forms; you may have nasal congestion and bruising
- 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
- Avoid for a month: exercise, bathhouse, sauna, pool, hot baths, sun
- 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 speed up recovery and get an ideal result after rhinoplasty, 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
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 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
Can be caused by 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 key to safe rhinoplasty is the doctor's skill and experience.
- Full diagnostics before surgery. Consists of tests, CT, ECG, and surgeon and anaesthetist exams.
- Follow the recovery regime. Don't handle your nose or remove the dressing without the doctor; avoid sport, sun, alcohol, cigarettes.
- Antibiotic prophylaxis. Prescribed when indicated to prevent infection.
- Regular follow-ups. Frequent surgeon visits pick up the smallest deviations and resolve them early.
- Psychological readiness. Patients must realise the final result is seen only after 1–1.5 years.
Important: contact your doctor right away if you notice difficulty breathing, severe pain, high fever or shape changes after rhinoplasty.
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?
The ideal age is 18 to 45. At that point the nose is fully formed and tissues still heal well. If there are medical indications, surgery is possible at an older age when 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 — surgery to change the appearance of the nose (an aesthetic goal) and improve its function if breathing is impaired.
Septoplasty — an operation correcting the nasal septum to restore normal breathing; the external shape of the nose stays the same.
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
What are the risks of rhinoplasty?
Swelling, bruising, infection, bleeding, temporary breathing problems and minor asymmetry can occur, as after any surgery. City Medical Centre minimises these risks with modern techniques, anaesthesia and equipment, 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?
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?
There are no external scars after closed rhinoplasty, since the incisions are inside. In open rhinoplasty a barely visible scar is left on the columella (the bridge between the nostrils), and over time it fades almost completely. Our doctors rely on microsurgical techniques and quality sutures for minimal scarring
How much will rhinoplasty change my appearance?
With rhinoplasty, facial features gain harmony and aesthetics improve, while individuality stays intact. 3D modelling allows you to view the predicted result ahead of time and settle the changes with your surgeon
Rhinoplasty cost at City Medical Centre?
Thanks to the current discount, City Medical Centre rhinoplasty costs $4,200 instead of $6,000. First consultation free of charge.
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?
The operation under general anaesthesia, a one-day stay in the inpatient unit, doctor monitoring and a free check-up after it. The clinic offers the result a lifetime guarantee.
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?
Rhinoplasty is, at heart, a comprehensive solution. It fixes both congenital and acquired deformities of the nose — for instance, following a nasal injury. Patients frequently worry about a dorsal hump or a nose that is too wide. The nasal tip (tip rhinoplasty) or the nostrils (alar rhinoplasty) can also be corrected. The surgery plan is built individually for each patient, taking every feature of the nose into account.
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 surgeon picks the technique to match your goals. Say, correcting an upturned nose or complex remodelling of the nasal bones and bridge frequently requires the open approach.
Recovery and results
The nose must be cared for after surgery. An aluminium splint is applied to the nose, and special silicone splints are inserted inside. The nose works in a limited way in the first days but recovers quickly. In 1–1.5 years, once swelling fully subsides, the final rhinoplasty result can be assessed.
Why trust the professionals?
Rhinoplasty is a big decision. A well-done rhinoplasty means a new nose that fits perfectly with your features and functions flawlessly. At your consultation the surgeon evaluates all parameters in detail: nose size, tip projection, the septum and nasal lining. Our 3D modelling lets you see the future proportions of your nose before rhinoplasty is performed.
Don't rely only on rhinoplasty photos from the internet. Book a consultation to find out what modern rhinoplasty can and cannot offer you. Reshaping the nose and correcting external nasal deformities is what we specialise in.

Choosing rhinoplasty in Bucharest
Many people consider a nose job because of a hump, a wide bridge or a tip they want to refine; others because they cannot breathe freely. Rhinoplasty addresses both aesthetics and function. For residents of Bucharest, it is worth knowing that bone and cartilage are corrected with an ultrasonic piezo device, which keeps trauma to tissue and vessels to a minimum.
First visible results appear after about two weeks, and full healing takes around four months on average. The nose settles into its final shape over 1–1.5 years, so seeing your surgeon during this period matters. Until the end of the year, Bucharest patients can have a free post-op consultation where the doctor evaluates the outcome, monitors recovery and answers questions.
If you are comparing rhinoplasty prices in Bucharest, 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.
