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
Ahead of surgery, a full lab work-up is needed — complete blood count, blood biochemistry, coagulation panel, chest X-ray, sinus X-ray
The surgery
With the chosen method and under general or local anaesthesia, the surgeon performs the rhinoplasty and reshapes the nose
Step-by-step surgical process
Every rhinoplasty begins with a personal consultation, 3D nose modelling and an assessment of the septum and nasal breathing. After preparation that includes tests, a CT scan and specialist consultations, the patient is taken to surgery.
- Anaesthesia — general anaesthesia or TIVA (intravenous anaesthesia), depending on the case's complexity
- Access — the surgeon decides between open (incision outside, on the columella) and closed (all incisions within the nose)
- Correcting bone and cartilage — with an ultrasonic piezo instrument for minimal injury to tissues and vessels
- Shaping the new nose — excess tissue is removed or a graft is added; the bridge, tip, nostrils or septum are reshaped
- Sutures — atraumatic, self-absorbing or cosmetic suture material is used
- Fixation — we place packing and an external splint to stabilise the form
Inpatient stay
All procedures take place in our clinic's inpatient unit, and after surgery you spend one day there
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
Through the end of the year, a post-op consultation with our plastic surgeon is free. At this check-up the doctor reviews the rhinoplasty result, checks your recovery and answers any questions you have

Recovery after rhinoplasty: stages and advice
Rehabilitation after nose surgery carries the same weight as the surgery itself. The right recovery defines the aesthetics and harmony of the final result. At City Medical Centre it is closely monitored and divided into three phases: early, middle and late
Early phase
- The first 24 hours after rhinoplasty are spent in the inpatient unit under medical 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 removed. The aluminium splint remains up to 14 days; stitches are removed on day 14 along with it
- No bending over, touching your nose or wearing glasses
Middle phase
- Swelling fades gradually, yet the tip and bridge may remain swollen
- 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
- Some mild congestion may be felt 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
Nose surgery is a popular and well-established aesthetic procedure, but it carries certain risks like any other surgery. To minimise possible complications after rhinoplasty, our clinic arranges thorough preparation before and monitoring after the operation.
Possible complications after surgery
Swelling and bruising
A normal body reaction, but excessive cases need monitoring
Bleeding
In the first days this may occur, especially if restrictions are neglected
Infection
An extremely rare complication caused by poor hygiene
Nose shape irregularities
Asymmetry, septum shift, uneven cartilage fixation
Impaired breathing
Possible from over-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. Rhinoplasty safety hinges on the doctor's skill and experience.
- Full diagnostics before surgery. Includes lab tests, CT, ECG, 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.
- Surgeon follow-ups. Regular visits catch even the smallest deviations and fix them at an early stage.
- Mental readiness. Patients should know that the final result becomes visible 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 relies on modern technology, safe materials and constant medical supervision to minimise 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 — an operation to alter the nose's appearance (an aesthetic goal) and improve its function when breathing is impaired.
Septoplasty — surgical correction of the nasal septum to restore normal breathing, without changing the outer contour of the nose.
The two surgeries are often combined, notably when a deviated septum coexists with aesthetic concerns. This delivers a harmonious look and restores full breathing. At City Medical Centre . we carry out rhinoseptoplasty: a combined surgery covering both tasks simultaneously
What are the risks of rhinoplasty?
As with every surgery, there may be swelling, bruising, infection, bleeding, temporary trouble breathing and minor asymmetry. City Medical Centre uses up-to-date techniques, anaesthesia and equipment to reduce risks, together with 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?
In the early days after the operation, splints or swelling may partially block the nasal passages. Breathing usually recovers fully within 1–2 weeks, depending on the scope of surgery and your body
Will there be visible scars?
Closed rhinoplasty uses internal incisions, so nothing shows on the outside. Open rhinoplasty results in a barely visible scar on the columella (the bridge between the nostrils) that almost completely fades with time. Our doctors keep scars minimal with microsurgical techniques and quality sutures
How much will rhinoplasty change my appearance?
Rhinoplasty makes the face more harmonious and improves its aesthetics, without losing what makes you individual. Using 3D modelling, you see the expected result in advance and agree on changes with the 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?
What you pay depends on the extent of surgery and is agreed at the consultation — the doctor quotes the exact price once your nose and facial proportions are examined.
What does the rhinoplasty price include?
General anaesthesia surgery, a one-day inpatient stay, doctor monitoring and a free check-up afterwards. The clinic offers a lifetime guarantee on the result.
How much is a consultation?
First consultation at City Medical Centre — free. The doctor looks at your nose, analyses facial proportions and tells you the exact cost of surgery.

Rhinoplasty: the art of harmony and function
Rhinoplasty (nose job) —
among the most delicate and popular plastic surgeries, designed to reshape the nose according to the individual proportions of the nose and face as a whole. Today's rhinoplasty is not simply about changing the nose's appearance; it is complex surgical work that pursues an aesthetic ideal without harming health.
What is rhinoplasty, or nose reshaping surgery?
Rhinoplasty is a comprehensive solution by nature. It corrects nasal deformities, whether congenital or acquired, e.g. after a nasal injury. Patients are frequently unhappy with a dorsal hump or an overly wide nose. The nasal tip (tip rhinoplasty) or the nostrils (alar rhinoplasty) can be the focus of correction too. Every patient gets a surgery plan created individually, considering all features of the nose.
How is the surgery performed?
The surgery is carried out under general anaesthesia and, depending on complexity, takes 1.5 to 3 hours. It has two main approaches: open and closed rhinoplasty. Open rhinoplasty requires a small columella incision (the tissue between the nostrils), which gives the surgeon full visibility of all nasal structures. Closed rhinoplasty is performed through internal incisions and leaves no visible scars.
Technique is chosen by the surgeon in line with your goals. The open approach is often necessary, for example, when correcting an upturned nose or complex reshaping of the nasal bones and bridge.
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 major step. When rhinoplasty is done well, the new nose blends perfectly with your features and functions flawlessly. During the consultation the surgeon assesses every parameter in detail: nose size, tip projection, the septum and nasal lining. With 3D modelling, you can see your future nasal proportions before rhinoplasty is performed.
Don't limit yourself to searching for rhinoplasty photos online. Book a consultation to discuss what modern rhinoplasty can and cannot do for you. Correcting external nasal deformities and reshaping the nose is our specialty.

Choosing rhinoplasty in Cairo
There are two main approaches. Closed rhinoplasty is done through incisions inside the nose and leaves no visible scars. Open rhinoplasty uses a small incision on the columella, the tissue between the nostrils, giving the surgeon a full view of all structures. For Cairo patients, the choice depends on goals: complex reshaping of the bones and bridge often calls for the open approach.
Safety depends on each step. Full diagnostics include tests, CT, ECG and exams by the surgeon and anaesthetist. After surgery, do not remove dressings or splints yourself, press on your nose, wear glasses or sleep face down. Regular follow-up visits catch small deviations early. People from Cairo are advised to contact the doctor right away in case of severe pain, fever or breathing difficulty.
The consultation costs nothing and gives a realistic forecast: facial proportions are assessed, a 3D model of the future nose is shown and a personal surgery and recovery plan is drawn up. After that, the fee for rhinoplasty is $4,200 with inpatient care, dressings and follow-ups included. Patients from Cairo can book via the form or message us in any messenger.
