Your path to the perfect nose: from dream to reality
A complete guide from first consultation to recovery
Consultation and nose modelling
The doctor inspects your nose, clarifies your wishes and runs all required checks to determine the best method of correction
Pre-surgery check-up
Before the operation a full lab panel is required: complete blood count, biochemistry, coagulation panel, chest X-ray, sinus X-ray
The surgery
Under general or local anaesthesia, the surgeon performs rhinoplasty with the selected method and reshapes the nose
Step-by-step surgical process
Rhinoplasty begins with an individual consultation, 3D modelling of the nose and an evaluation of the septum and breathing. Once pre-op preparation is complete — tests, a CT scan and specialist consultations — the patient proceeds to surgery.
- Anaesthesia — depending on complexity, TIVA (intravenous anaesthesia) or conventional general anaesthesia
- Access — open (a columella incision on the outside) or closed (all incisions placed inside the nose), at the surgeon's choice
- Bone and cartilage correction — via an ultrasonic piezo device so tissue and vessels suffer minimal trauma
- 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 — the shape is stabilised with packing and an external splint
Inpatient stay
Procedures are all performed in the clinic's inpatient unit, with a one-day stay there after surgery
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 year-end, our plastic surgeon offers a free post-op consultation. The doctor evaluates your rhinoplasty result at the check-up, monitors how recovery is going and answers all your questions

Preparing for nose surgery
For the surgery to go well, begin preparing 21 days before rhinoplasty. Our plastic surgeon gives you a list of tests at your first visit.
Blood count, complete (including ESR, differential, platelets)
Urinalysis
Infection markers: HIV, HBsAg, anti-HCV, antibodies to Treponema pallidum
Blood type and Rh factor
Blood biochemistry (total protein; urea; uric acid; creatinine; glucose; total, direct and indirect bilirubin; ALT; AST; K; Na; Cl; cholesterol)

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
- Remove swelling-promoting foods from your diet: salty, fatty, fried, spicy; stop medicines that affect blood clotting (check with your doctor)
- Limit physical activity
- Skip cosmetic treatments that harm the skin: scrubs, peels, etc.
Important!
- Each test must be on a separate form
- The facility's stamp and doctor's signature are required
- Before you're admitted, get a pair of class 2 compression stockings
- On the day of surgery, your last food and drink must be at least 6 hours before the scheduled 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
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
- In the first 24 hours after rhinoplasty, the patient is monitored in the inpatient unit
- Days 1–3: the nostrils hold splints and you breathe via your mouth
- Swelling shows up; 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
- The swelling decreases step by step; the tip and bridge may still be swollen
- A month off exercise, bathhouse, sauna, pool, hot baths and the sun
- Sleep only on your back, half-sitting
- Avoid glasses and makeup around the nose
Late phase
- After nose surgery, mild congestion can last 1–1.5 months
- 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
If you want faster recovery and an ideal rhinoplasty result, 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
Even though rhinoplasty is one of the most sought-after and established aesthetic procedures, it involves certain risks like every surgery. That is why our clinic provides thorough preparation before surgery and monitoring afterwards to minimise complications.
Possible complications after surgery
Swelling and bruising
A normal body reaction, but excessive cases need monitoring
Bleeding
Can occur during the first days, especially if the rules are not kept
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 tests, CT, ECG, exams by the surgeon and anaesthetist.
- Follow the recovery regime. Don't touch your nose or remove the dressing on your own; avoid sport, sun, alcohol and tobacco.
- Antibiotic prophylaxis. Prescribed when indicated to prevent infection.
- Check-up visits. Seeing your surgeon regularly catches the tiniest deviations and corrects them in time.
- Psychological preparation. The patient should be aware the end result shows in 1–1.5 years.
Important: if after rhinoplasty you have trouble breathing, severe pain, high fever or changes in shape, contact your doctor immediately.
Rhinoplasty at City Medical Centre is carried out using advanced technology, safe materials and nonstop medical supervision, lowering the risk of complications.

Rhinoplasty:
frequently asked questions
When is the best time for rhinoplasty?
The optimal age is from 18 to 45, when the nose is fully developed and tissues heal well. With medical indications, an older patient can have surgery if general health permits
How do I prepare for rhinoplasty?
Preparation consists of plastic surgeon consultations, lab tests (CBC, biochemistry, coagulation, infection tests), ECG, chest X-ray, and a nasal X-ray or CT. One week before surgery, stop anticoagulants, alcohol and smoking. On the day before, eat light meals; fast for 6 hours before surgery
Rhinoplasty vs septoplasty: what's the difference?
Rhinoplasty — surgery for changing the appearance of the nose (aesthetics) and, if breathing is impaired, improving its function.
Septoplasty — surgery on the nasal septum to bring back normal breathing, leaving the outer contour of the nose unchanged.
Frequently both surgeries are done at once, especially for a patient with a deviated septum and aesthetic concerns. That way the look is harmonious and full breathing returns. At City Medical Centre . we offer rhinoseptoplasty, a combined surgery solving both tasks in one go
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?
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?
Partial blockage of the nasal passages by splints or swelling is possible in the first days after surgery. Breathing normally returns in full within 1–2 weeks, depending on the extent of surgery and your body
Will there be visible scars?
Closed rhinoplasty means internal incisions and therefore no external scars. Open rhinoplasty leaves a scar on the columella (the bridge between the nostrils) that is barely visible and fades almost completely over time. To keep scars minimal, our doctors use microsurgical techniques and quality sutures
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?
City Medical Centre offers rhinoplasty for $4,200 instead of $6,000 with the current discount. First consultation is free.
What does the rhinoplasty price depend on?
How much it costs depends on the extent of surgery and is decided at the consultation: the doctor names the exact price after studying your nose and facial proportions.
What does the rhinoplasty price include?
The surgery under general anaesthesia, one day in the inpatient unit, medical monitoring and a free follow-up check-up. The result comes with a lifetime guarantee from the clinic.
How much is a consultation?
We offer the first consultation at City Medical Centre free. The doctor examines your nose, evaluates the proportions of your face and names the exact cost.

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?
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
Rather than only looking for rhinoplasty photos online, book a consultation and discuss what modern rhinoplasty can and can't achieve for you. Our specialty is correcting external nasal deformities and reshaping the nose.

Choosing rhinoplasty in Charlotte
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 Charlotte, 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.
Preparation begins about 21 days before surgery, when the plastic surgeon hands over the list of tests. Three to five days before, stop smoking and alcohol, cut salty, fatty and spicy foods and avoid peels or scrubs. On the day itself, the last food and drink should be at least six hours before the operation. This routine is the same for every Charlotte patient.
If you are comparing rhinoplasty prices in Charlotte, 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.
